Roadrunner Venture Studios’ Post

Today we announced the selection of Roadrunner Venture Studios to deploy $25 million and establish a quantum venture studio in Albuquerque’s Innovation District. This initiative will: ◾ Strengthen New Mexico’s role as a hub for quantum technologies ◾ Immediately bring three quantum companies to the state ◾ Create high-paying jobs and support long-term industry growth With nearly a dozen partners, this collaboration positions New Mexico at the forefront of quantum innovation and commercialization. The quantum future is being built in New Mexico. #QuantumComputing #DeepTech #NewMexico #Startups #Tech #VentureCapital #USInnovation #Quantum

Quantum leadership in the U.S. is moving from theory to execution, and New Mexico is positioning itself at the forefront of this shift with a new $25 million quantum initiative the New Mexico Economic Development Department selected Roadrunner Venture Studios to lead. The coalition driving this effort — including national labs, academic centers, and deep tech venture capital firms like Playground Global — will provide the infrastructure quantum needs to scale, making New Mexico a national launchpad for quantum startups.

Big news for Albuquerque’s Innovation District. New Mexico is investing $25 million to accelerate quantum research and commercialization right here in our city. With Roadrunner Venture Studios and a powerhouse coalition of labs, researchers, startups, and investors, we’re building a quantum campus that will drive high-value jobs, cutting-edge tech, and lasting economic impact. The future of quantum is being built in New Mexico, and Albuquerque is proud to lead the way.

Albuquerque is emerging as a focal point for the next generation of quantum technology, fueled by a $25 million state investment and a partnership of startups, universities, and national labs eager to transform advanced research into thriving companies, according to a leading New Mexico tech voice.

New Mexico just dropped $315 million on a game-changing tech plan to become a quantum computing powerhouse. The state is teaming up with DARPA to fund private firms, build fabrication hubs, and launch a quantum network—think real-life teleport lane for data. With $185 million from state reserves, $60 million each from DARPA and the state for vetting projects, plus $25 million to match scientists with business pros, they’re covering all the angles. Albuquerque, with its national labs and wealth of science talent, could soon be the go-to place for quantum startups. Projects are lining up fast, like a quantum network hub aiming to go live by next year. Governor Lujan Grisham summed it up: no reckless moves, but “fast and focused.” New Mexico wants to lead this tech revolution—and it's all systems go. #QuantumNewMexico #NextGenTech #QuantumRevolution #GenZScience #TechFuture #QuantumDrive

New Mexico is now the Quantum State. Today, Reuters covered the state's newly announced relationship with Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and its intent to invest more than $300M in the technology in the coming years. None of this would be possible without the leadership of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, the New Mexico Economic Development Department, and the New Mexico State Investment Council. This is a growing deep tech movement that we are honored to help build. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gqxmBy3m #quantum #startups #quantumcompute #quantum #venturecapital #tech #technology #newmexico #deeptech

When people think about global tech leadership, they rarely think of Colorado. That’s a mistake. It’s true that China is setting the pace by investing heavily in quantum, photonics, and climate-focused technologies. The U.S. must match that urgency, and here’s the good news: Colorado is already punching above its weight. Ranked as the 4th strongest ecosystem for technologies around advanced sensing, computational modeling, and AI-powered decision support tools (the NSF ASCEND Engine in Colorado and Wyoming framework), Colorado sits at the intersection of federal labs, research universities, and a thriving startup culture. It’s a proving ground for what regional ecosystems can achieve when they align resources with national R&D priorities. The Earth and Space Systems Accelerator builds on this strength. By helping startups move from idea to commercialization (without requiring equity), we are showing how a regional hub can scale its impact to the national and even global level. Colorado may not be the biggest. But in terms of talent, urgency, and execution, it’s leading in ways that matter. The Earth and Space Systems Accelerator is the next step in that journey.

Quantum Computing Startup IQM Raises $320 Million, Achieves Unicorn Status Finnish quantum computing startup IQM has secured $320 million in new funding to accelerate technology development and global expansion. Founded in 2018, IQM aims to build powerful quantum computers in Europe, rivaling U.S. leaders like Google and IBM. The funding round was led by Ten Eleven Ventures with participation from Finnish firm Tesi, valuing IQM at over $1 billion. The company now has 350 employees and has sold 15 quantum computers worldwide, including its flagship Radiance and the more affordable Spark model for universities. CEO Jan Goetz highlighted plans to expand into software development to make quantum computing more accessible, as well as global commercial operations in the U.S. and Asia. While IPOs remain a future possibility, IQM is focused on building a sustainable, long-term business. The move comes amid growing investor interest in quantum computing, with public firms like IonQ and D-Wave seeing stock surges of 480% and 1,400% over the past year. . . #QuantumComputing #TechNews #StartupFunding #UnicornStartup #IQM #DeepTech #Innovation #FutureOfComputing #QuantumTech #FinlandTech #GlobalExpansion #AIAndQuantum #TechInvestment #NextGenTech
