| KDTECH LIMITED | KD Tech develops fabless semiconductor solutions focused on multi-gigabit optical networking and integrated optoelectronic transceiver devices. The company designs CMOS-based application specific standard products that combine mixed-signal electronics, photonics, and optics into single integrated circuits. Its technology uses communications signaltheory and digital signal processing to provide high-speed data transmission over plastic and glass optical fiber. KD Tech supplies automotive-grade optical transceivers that address electromagnetic interference at the source, helping reduce cabling weight and shielding in vehicle networks. These devices support autonomous driving sensors, safety-related camera systems, and in-vehicle infotainment networks. The company also offers evaluation and development hardware that supports project integration, hardware testing, and deployment of optical gigabit network transceivers. Beyond automotive uses, KD Tech applies its optical connectivity and transceiver technology to consumer electronics, home networking, and industrial machine-to-machine applications. | $4.3M | Venture - Series Unknown | May 14, 2026 |  |
| Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech | Qilimanjaro is a quantum computing company based in Barcelona, making quantum useful today. Founded in 2019, we develop full-stack quantum computers based on fluxonium analog qubits, a novel architecture that bypasses the need for error correction, enabling faster, more scalable solutions. Our approach is application-first: analog quantum computingoffers near-term advantages and optimality for highly relevant problems, especially in simulation, optimization, and AI, where digital QPUs fall short. We follow a dual strategy to democratize access to quantum computing:• Via our Quantum-as-a-Service (QaaS) platform, users can remotely access our hybrid quantum data centers, combining analog and digital QPUs with classical HPC. • For research institutions and HPC centers, we provide on-premise quantum deployments, offering flexibility, control, and co-design.By aligning quantum hardware with real-world needs, Qilimanjaro is building a future where quantum computing is practical, scalable, and ready to deliver value - not in decades, but now. | $11.1M | Seed | Mar 07, 2025 |  |
