QDaria Business Plan

Building the World’s First Fault-Tolerant Topological Quantum Computer

$12M Seed Round | Series A Target: 2026 | First IPO: 2028

1. Executive Summary

QDaria is an early-stage quantum computing and AI startup based in Norway, founded with the bold vision of building the world’s first fault-tolerant topological quantum computer using exotic Fibonacci anyons. In collaboration with Rigetti Computing, QDaria aims to deploy Norway’s first quantum processing unit (the Novera QPU) as a stepping stone toward this topological quantum computer breakthrough. Our mission is to revolutionize industries – from cybersecurity and finance to healthcare and education – by fusing quantum computing with artificial intelligence in unprecedented ways.

We are developing a suite of seven venture-ready technologies under the QDaria umbrella, alongside a unique quantum hardware-access service. These include quantum-resistant cybersecurity (Zipminator), a quantum fintech platform (Qm9), an AI-driven education and governance system (QDiana, which originated from an “AGI Politician” concept), a quantum-augmented HPC engine for fluid dynamics (QMikeAI), a quantum health-tech platform (QNilaya), a quantum-natural language model (TeHaA), and a quantum robotics platform (Damon). Each product targets a high-impact market niche, while collectively they create a synergistic ecosystem of hardware, software, and AI. In the long term, QDaria will evolve into QDaria Holdings, spinning off each major product as an independent subsidiary positioned for its own growth and IPO by 2028–2030.

Market Opportunity

The timing is ideal. The global quantum computing industry is on the cusp of explosive growth, projected to create nearly $1.3 trillion in economic value by 2035. Today the market remains nascent (estimated at only ~$1.3 billion in 2024), but it is expected to expand to $5–7 billion by 2029 as early commercial applications emerge.

At the same time, artificial intelligence is injecting trillions into the economy – up to $13 trillion by 2030 according to McKinsey – and creating unprecedented demand for computational power. QDaria sits at the intersection of these trends, combining quantum computing + AI (Q+AI) to tackle problems beyond the reach of classical systems.

Governments worldwide have pledged over $30 billion to quantum R&D, and private investors poured a record $1.5+ billion in 2024 into quantum startups. This rising tide underscores an unprecedented opportunity for new entrants. QDaria’s agile startup approach and unique blend of offerings enable us to move quickly in this fast-evolving landscape.

3. Market Analysis

The markets QDaria operates in – Quantum Computing, Artificial Intelligence, Synthetic Biology, and their convergence – each show enormous growth potential. Below we analyze these domains and the economic opportunities they present:

Quantum Computing: Industry Outlook

Quantum computing is transitioning from pure research to early commercial use, driving significant optimism about its future market. In 2024, the global quantum computing market size (revenue) is roughly $1.3 billion. This figure is expected to grow to about $5–6 billion by 2029 (a >30% CAGR) as more organizations begin experimenting with quantum algorithms for optimization, simulation, and machine learning tasks. The long-term outlook is even more striking: McKinsey estimates quantum technologies could account for nearly $1.3 trillion in value by 2035, and other analysts project on the order of $1 trillion in cumulative economic impact by 2035. This value reflects quantum computing’s potential to revolutionize industries from finance to pharmaceuticals by solving complex problems far beyond the reach of classical computers.

Several factors are fueling this growth in quantum computing:

  • Technical Progress: Qubit counts and quality are improving. Industry leaders like IBM have 433-qubit processors available today and roadmap targets for 1000+ qubits in the next couple of years. Error rates are gradually decreasing, enabling longer and more complex circuits to run.

  • Heavy Investment: Governments worldwide have collectively pledged over $30 billion in quantum research funding, recognizing the technology’s strategic importance. China, the EU, the U.S., and others are investing in national quantum programs. Private investment is also surging – quantum startups raised ~$1.4B in 2022 and >$1.5B in 2024, a trend bolstered by the hype around AI.

  • Ecosystem Development: A growing ecosystem of software tools (e.g. Qiskit, Cirq) and cloud platforms (AWS Braket, Azure Quantum, IBM Quantum) is lowering barriers to entry for developers and companies. “Quantum-as-a-Service” offerings let users access quantum hardware over the cloud without owning a device, expanding the user base and training a generation of quantum programmers.

  • Early Use Cases: Initial commercial use cases are emerging in areas like cryptography (post-quantum encryption), chemistry/material science (quantum simulation for drug discovery or material design), and optimization (supply chain, scheduling). These early successes, albeit often on small problem instances, are validating the real-world relevance of quantum algorithms and spurring further adoption efforts.

While forecasts vary, the trajectory points sharply upward. By the early 2030s, quantum computing’s impact could be transformative, potentially approaching trillions of dollars in value creation. This rising tide creates a significant opportunity for innovative companies like QDaria to emerge and capture value, especially by addressing unmet needs in the ecosystem (such as talent shortage, software tools, and integration of quantum with AI). Our strategy is timed to ride this wave: establish a foothold in today’s niche market, scale alongside the industry’s growth, and be a frontrunner when quantum computing hits mainstream adoption.

That said, we recognize the inherent uncertainty in timing. Quantum computing is a disruptive technology with a wide range of outcomes – rapid breakthroughs could accelerate adoption, while technical hurdles (e.g. error correction) could slow progress. We have contingency plans for multiple scenarios (from conservative to optimistic), ensuring QDaria remains adaptable whether the inflection point arrives in 5 years or 15 years.

Artificial Intelligence: Economic Potential

If quantum computing is the rocket, artificial intelligence (AI) is the fuel currently propelling tech innovation. AI is a much larger and more mature market today, and it forms the “demand pull” for advanced computing that quantum can supply. According to McKinsey Global Institute, AI could add an additional $13 trillion to global economic output by 2030 – roughly a 1.2% boost to annual GDP growth worldwide. The global AI software market reached ~$50 billion in 2020 and is growing ~40% CAGR, on track to several hundred billion by the late 2020s. The excitement around Generative AI in 2023–2024 (with products like GPT-4, DALL-E, etc.) has only accelerated investment and adoption across industries.

Key trends in AI relevant to QDaria include:

  • Soaring Compute Needs: Cutting-edge AI models require immense computational resources. Training GPT-3 took thousands of petaflop/s-days of compute. This need for compute is outpacing Moore’s Law, creating a search for new hardware paradigms – including quantum – to sustain AI’s progress.

  • AI in Every Industry: AI is being applied in healthcare (diagnostics, drug discovery), finance (trading algorithms, risk modeling), education (personalized learning), government (policy modeling, smart cities), and beyond. This aligns with QDaria’s targeted sectors.

  • Autonomous Agents: There’s a push toward more agentic AI – systems that can make plans, take actions, and interact in feedback loops. QDaria’s products like QDiana and QMikeAI are examples of this trend, embedding domain expertise (quantum algorithms) into AI agents for decision-making.

For QDaria, AI is both an enabling technology (we use AI in our products and research) and a market in itself (some of our products are AI systems). By 2030, AI will likely be ubiquitous in enterprise software. Our differentiation comes from infusing quantum capabilities into AI systems – either to supercharge AI (achieve faster or better results with quantum hardware) or to manage quantum complexity (AI that helps users leverage quantum computing). This fusion of AI and quantum gives us a cutting-edge positioning that pure-play AI companies lack.

Convergence of Quantum and AI (Q+AI Integration)

The intersection of quantum computing and AI – Quantum AI – is an emerging niche that many believe could be greater than the sum of its parts. By using quantum processors to run or enhance AI algorithms, we might achieve leaps in capabilities (such as exponentially faster training for certain models, or new forms of AI that leverage quantum phenomena). Conversely, using AI to control quantum systems (for error correction, calibration, or algorithm design) can significantly improve quantum hardware performance. QDaria is investing in both sides of this synergy:

  • Quantum-Enhanced AI: Our product TeHaA exemplifies this, aiming to be a quantum-enhanced large language model. Running portions of an AI model on a quantum backend (like Rigetti’s QPUs or future topological qubits) could allow exploration of extremely high-dimensional optimization landscapes more efficiently.

  • AI for Quantum: QDaria’s QDiana and QMikeAI agents represent using AI to make quantum tech more usable. By embedding expertise into AI assistants, we lower the barrier for businesses and developers to adopt quantum solutions.

The broader vision is that Quantum + AI + X (with X being domains like finance or biology) will yield the next wave of computing breakthroughs. We already see “Quantum Machine Learning” emerging in research, and companies like Google and IBM exploring how quantum can improve AI workflows. QDaria is one of the first startups explicitly focusing on this fusion. When early commercial Quantum-AI applications appear within 5–7 years, QDaria will be ready with proven solutions.

4. Competitive Landscape

The current quantum computing landscape spans tech giants, specialized startups, and academic labs, but QDaria occupies a unique niche at the intersection of hardware access, software, and AI. Below, we outline major competitor groups and how we differentiate:

Tech Giants (IBM, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Intel)

These large companies have major quantum R&D programs. IBM offers cloud access to superconducting quantum processors (with a 433-qubit system online and 1121-qubit planned). Google achieved quantum supremacy in 2019. Microsoft pursues topological qubits and integrates quantum into Azure. Amazon aggregates quantum offerings via AWS Braket.

Strengths: Virtually unlimited budgets, top talent, existing cloud and enterprise customer base. Weaknesses: Bureaucratic, primarily focused on hardware and cloud services, not specialized vertical solutions or AI integration.

QDaria’s stance: We view tech giants more as potential partners/enablers than direct competitors. We can run our software on their platforms while filling gaps too narrow for giants to address. None currently offers the agentic AI integration (QDiana, QMikeAI) or hands-on hardware kits that QDaria does.

Quantum Hardware Startups (IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave, PsiQuantum)

Pure-play quantum companies focused on building scalable quantum processors. Many are now public (IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave) with substantial funding:

  • IonQ: Trapped-ion qubits, ~$684M total funding
  • Rigetti: Superconducting qubits (our partner), ~$200M pre-IPO
  • D-Wave: Quantum annealing, $300M+ funding
  • PsiQuantum: Photonic qubits, ~$1.29B funding

Strengths: Deep technical focus, first-mover advantage in specific hardware modalities. Weaknesses: High burn rates, narrow scope (hardware only), dependence on solving extremely hard physics/engineering problems.

QDaria’s differentiation: We are hardware-agnostic and capital efficient. Rather than build our own quantum chip from scratch, we partner with or rent existing hardware. We layer value through software and AI on top of any hardware. While IonQ/Rigetti focus on making qubits, QDaria focuses on making qubits useful via algorithms, integration, and user-friendly AI.

Quantum Software & Algorithm Startups (Quantinuum, Zapata, QC Ware)

Companies focusing on the software layer of quantum computing:

  • Quantinuum: Merged Honeywell quantum + Cambridge Quantum, leaders in quantum software
  • Zapata Computing: Orquestra platform for quantum ML and optimization
  • QC Ware: Quantum consulting and cloud platform (Forge)

Strengths: Algorithms expertise, hardware-agnostic integration, partnerships with enterprises. Weaknesses: Many are service-oriented (consulting-heavy), face long sales cycles, solutions can be replicated.

QDaria’s differentiation: We also develop quantum software and algorithms, but QDaria’s agentic AI focus sets us apart. We aren’t just delivering quantum algorithms; we are packaging them in intelligent, interactive AI agents (QDiana, QMikeAI) that make the technology accessible to end-users. Additionally, QDaria offers physical hardware access through our kit rental program – a client can actually touch and experiment on a real quantum device in-house.

7. Financial Plan and Projections

Our financial plan reflects this multi-faceted growth strategy. We forecast financials for QDaria Holdings on a consolidated basis through 2030, understanding that different lines of business scale at different paces. Early on, revenue will be modest as we prove technology and build products; by the late 2020s, we expect an inflection as products commercialize and subsidiaries IPO.

Base Case Scenario: Realistic market penetration with successful strategic partnerships and steady customer acquisition. Break-even in late 2026.

Figure: Comprehensive financial projections showing revenue, gross profit, EBITDA, and net income from 2025-2030. The visualization includes three scenarios (Conservative, Base, Optimistic) with key performance indicators and milestone annotations.

Key Financial Assumptions

Revenue Drivers:

From 2025–2026, revenue is primarily from quantum kit rentals and consulting/pilot projects. Starting 2027, as products hit the market, software and platform sales ramp up. By 2028–2030, main revenue streams are SaaS subscriptions (QDiana, QMikeAI), usage fees (Qm9 cloud), and software licensing (Zipminator).

Projected Revenue Growth:

  • 2025: $0.5M (kit rentals, consulting)
  • 2026: $1.0M (expanded pilots)
  • 2027: $5.0M (product launches)
  • 2028: $20.0M (Zipminator IPO year)
  • 2029: $50.0M (Qm9 + QDiana IPOs)
  • 2030: $100.0M (mature product portfolio)

This represents ~110% CAGR from 2026 to 2030 – aggressive but plausible given high-growth markets and multiple product launches.

Cost Structure:

  • R&D: 55-60% of expenses through 2026, then declining as % of revenue
  • Sales & Marketing: 10% initially, ramping to ~25% by 2028
  • G&A: ~15% initially, trending down with scale
  • Quantum Hardware/Cloud: Significant but manageable (~few hundred thousand/year for dilution refrigerator maintenance)

Gross Margin:

  • Early years: ~50% (hardware-heavy with kit rentals)
  • By 2030: ~70% (software becomes ~80% of revenue)
  • Software products achieve 80-90% margins

Profitability Timeline:

We expect to reach break-even around 2028 and achieve positive net income in 2029. Operating losses will peak in 2026-2027 as we scale R&D ahead of revenue. By 2030, with substantial revenue and scale benefits, net margins could reach 20-25%.

Funding Plan

Seed Round ($12M) - Current Series A ($8M) - Mid-2026 Series B ($20M) - 2027 IPO Events - 2028-2030 (subsidiaries)

Post-Series B, IPOs serve as funding events for subsidiaries. Grant funding (EU Horizon, government programs) will supplement and extend runway.

QDaria highlighted in cyan with projected 2025-2030 growth trajectory.

1. Technology Development Risks

Risk: The pace of quantum computing progress could be slower than anticipated, or specific approaches might fail. Topological qubits might take longer to materialize, or quantum advantage might be elusive for practical tasks.

Mitigation:

  • Hardware-agnostic stance – we use what’s available (superconducting, trapped ions) and design flexible software
  • If one technology fails, we pivot to another (our value is in software/AI which ports to any backend)
  • Strong ties with research community to stay ahead of breakthroughs
  • Classical fallback options: products provide value even if quantum underperforms

2. Market Adoption Risks

Risk: Enterprises might be slow to adopt quantum solutions due to skepticism, lack of understanding, or integration challenges. “Wait and see” approach could slow revenue growth.

Mitigation:

  • Build products that are useful today (before quantum is “necessary”)
  • QDiana as AI tutor is valuable without quantum; Qm9 integrates classical HPC for incremental benefit
  • Phased approach (education first, then advanced solutions) creates pipeline of quantum-ready users
  • Kit rentals and educational tools cultivate the market
  • Strong customer support and consulting ensure successful adoption

3. Competition and Talent Risks

Risk: Tech giants or well-funded startups could develop similar solutions. Attracting and retaining top quantum/AI talent is challenging.

Mitigation:

  • Differentiate with unique integrated vision
  • Move faster and more flexibly as startup
  • Compelling mission (few places offer both quantum and AI for societal good)
  • Meaningful equity in multiple upside scenarios (several IPO opportunities)
  • Nordic talent pool often overlooked by Silicon Valley but extremely strong
  • University partnerships and internship pipelines

4. Funding and Dilution Risks

Risk: Capital-intensive quantum tech development during tight funding environments could force unfavorable terms or plan cutbacks.

Mitigation:

  • Lean approach leveraging partnerships
  • Qm9 investment hub for revenue generation (self-funding through quantum trading)
  • Grant funding and government support (non-dilutive)
  • Multi-spinout flexibility (subsidiaries can raise independently)
  • Clear IPO timeline gives early investors liquidity visibility

5. Regulatory and Ethical Risks

Risk: Evolving regulations around AI (transparency, bias, data privacy) and quantum (encryption standards, export controls) could impact development or deployment.

Mitigation:

  • Proactive policymaker engagement (presence at Davos, global forums)
  • AI designed with ethical guidelines (bias checks, content moderation)
  • PQC adheres to NIST standards
  • Proper licenses for export controls
  • Collaborative approach with government agencies

Risk Management Philosophy

While challenges are non-trivial, QDaria’s strategy is built to mitigate risk through:

  • Diversification: Multiple products/markets
  • Adaptability: Hardware-agnostic, incremental adoption path
  • Strategic foresight: Partnering and structuring for resilience
  • Transparency: Keeping investors informed for collaborative course-correction

Our leadership’s experience across academia, government, and industry provides well-rounded perspective to foresee pitfalls. Managing these risks effectively will be key to delivering the substantial rewards we aim for.
