London-based Qoro Quantum has secured £591,000 in a pre-seed funding round to develop software infrastructure for hybrid quantum-classical computing. The round includes backing from Ada Ventures, Superangels Venture Fund, and the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
Founded in 2024, Qoro Quantum is a deeptech company building software infrastructure for distributed quantum computing. Its platform provides an orchestration layer that connects classical systems, such as CPUs and GPUs, with emerging quantum processors, enabling hybrid applications to run across heterogeneous environments.
As the industry continues to develop functional quantum computers, enterprises are already combining classical processors with early-stage quantum hardware to address complex challenges. However, integrating these systems remains resource-intensive, often requiring specialised expertise, time, and extensive custom code. Qoro’s software stack aims to simplify this process by reducing integration complexity and enabling diverse computing systems to operate as a unified environment.
“While the broader industry is racing to build physical quantum hardware, we are focused on the immediate software bottleneck required to actually use those machines,” said Dan Holme, CEO of Qoro Quantum.
The company’s platform includes a network stack and cloud-based control system that automates the execution of quantum algorithms, manages resource allocation, and synchronises multi-vendor computing clusters. By abstracting hardware complexity, it allows applications to be built once and deployed across high-performance and quantum computing environments.
The funding will support the development of its hybrid quantum-classical software layer, as well as engineering hires, grant co-funding, and product rollout ahead of its next funding round.
