2xN

What they do

2xN (often styled as "The Quantum Inspired Technology Fund") is a specialized venture capital firm that bridges the gap between deep technical quantum innovation and commercial scalability. Founded by Lars Fjeldsoe-Nielsen (ex-Balderton, Dropbox, Uber) and Niels Nielsen (Quantum pioneer and Quantinuum board member), the firm leverages a unique "best of both worlds" approach: combining deep domain expertise in quantum mechanics with Silicon Valley-style operational scaling. They position themselves not just as investors in quantum hardware, but as backers of "quantum-ready" sectors like mobility, edtech, and marketplaces that will benefit from the technology's eventual maturity.

What they look for

2xN defines itself as a "Quantum Inspired" fund. Their thesis is twofold: 1. Core Quantum: Investing directly in the infrastructure, hardware, and software that builds the quantum computer. 2. Quantum Impact: Investing in "classical" high-growth sectors-specifically Mobility, Education, and Marketplaces-that they believe will be the first to reap exponential benefits from quantum computing power.
