Kvantify Completes 2nd Close of €7M Round to Advance Quantum Drug Discovery
Kvantify announced the second close of its €7 million funding round, with the European Innovation Council Fund and Denmark’s Delphinus Venture Capital as lead investors. The capital will support the rollout of its Qrunch platform, which runs quantum chemistry workloads on existing quantum hardware, and broaden partnerships with drug‑discovery firms. Launched in November 2025, Qrunch aims to deliver realistic molecular simulations that classical computers struggle with. The infusion positions Kvantify to accelerate its roadmap and strengthen Europe’s quantum‑driven life‑science ecosystem.
