Funding the Quantum Leap: From Research to a Venture-Backable Startup
What does it take to turn breakthrough research into a startup investors want to back?
Join us for the second event in Aaltoes’ Founder Funding series as we explore the leap from research to a venture-backable company, with quantum technology in the spotlight.
We’ll bring together Jussi Kallasvuo from Antler and Mikko Möttönen from QMill for perspectives from both sides of the table: investing in early-stage companies and building a business around scientific breakthroughs.
The conversation will explore what makes a research-based startup investable, how to communicate the commercial potential of complex technology, and how founders can approach fundraising when their path looks different from a typical software startup.
Whether you’re a researcher curious about entrepreneurship, a student exploring deep tech, or a founder thinking about funding, welcome along. Bring your curiosity and questions!
