We’ve raised over $1 billion towards our work to build the world’s first million-qubit scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

We are thrilled to have @BlackRock, @Temasek, and @BaillieGifford lead this round now valuing the company at $7 billion and welcome @Macquarie Capital, @RibbitCapital, NVentures (@nvidia's venture arm), Adage Capital Management, @TypeOneVC, Counterpoint Global (@MorganStanley), @1789Capital, and SVentures (@SentinelOne). The round also included participation from existing investors including @blackbirdvc, @ThirdPointLLC, and @TRowePrice Associates, Inc.

@nicochristie Can I get access?

[Rahul Meka @iamrahulmeka]

@nicochristie Would love an invite!

Excited to share the launch of Snowcap Compute, a company building the first commercially viable superconducting compute platform, backed by a $23M seed round led by @Playground_VC. This marks my first public investment as General Partner at Playground, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to support a team that’s redefining the performance frontier for computing – classical, AI and quantum – the trinity of computing will all benefit from superconducting and Snowcap!

Snowcap is building the foundation for the post-CMOS era, one that will demand dramatic leaps in performance and power efficiency for AI, HPC, and quantum-classical hybrid workloads. This is deep tech at its finest. Honored to join the board and support Mike Lafferty, Anna Herr, Quentin Herr, and the incredible Snowcap team.

More exciting news: I've joined @Playground_VC as a General Partner. I've long been passionate about investing in deep and long technologies like #quantum, #photonics and #semiconductors - exactly what Playground is doing with companies like xLight, @PsiQuantum and @StrandTx. I’m also a big believer in working alongside founders and technologists, ensuring they have the resources, expertise and support they need to push boundaries. Joining Playground allows me to combine these two principles and help others tackle tough challenges.

@Lons @twistartups @Jason Overdraft and late fee bank charges but now on food delivery, just what the world needs. Maybe solve food security instead. Sigh.

[Rahul Meka @iamrahulmeka]

@twistartups @Jason @Lons Presumably, customers are going to use the pay in 4 option - basically amortizing monthly food delivery spend over 4 months. I just don’t think this is going to be material (people needing this option won’t prefer food delivery and existing users aren’t going to 4x their orders)

[Rahul Meka @iamrahulmeka]

Excited to be a part of this!

@jxmnop You’re severely underestimating the networking and scaling that gets enabled with said networking. It’s not about a single node performance but that a group of nodes behave as one big node.
