French quantum startup developing cat qubit technology; inherently suppresses bit-flip errors requiring fewer physical qubits per logical qubit than competing superconducting approaches.
Alice & Bob is a Paris-based quantum computing startup that develops a novel qubit technology called cat qubits — quantum bits that exploit a quantum mechanical phenomenon to inherently suppress certain types of errors, potentially enabling fault-tolerant quantum computers with fewer physical qubits per logical qubit than competing approaches. Cat qubits leverage quantum superpositions of coherent states in microwave resonators to create a hardware-native bias against bit-flip errors, meaning the system only needs to correct phase-flip errors in software, dramatically reducing the overhead required for quantum error correction. If successful, this approach could reach fault-tolerant quantum computation with ten to one hundred times fewer physical qubits than superconducting qubit approaches. Founded in 2020 as a spinout from the Paris École Normale Supérieure, Alice & Bob raised €30M in Series A funding from investors including BpiFrance and Elaia Partners. The company is building a roadmap toward commercial quantum advantage through hardware-efficient error correction. It competes with IBM, Google, and IonQ in the race toward fault-tolerant quantum computing.
$3.5M annual revenue 2025; $86.1M total funding (Series C Oct 2023); deployed in 60+ countries; acquired Regen adding 130K acres; 134 employees; precision agriculture market $8.7B 2024; subscription-based model
CropX was founded in 2014 in Tel Aviv, Israel, with the mission of helping farmers improve crop yields and reduce resource consumption through precision agriculture technology. The company developed soil sensing hardware and analytics software that translate subsurface soil data into actionable irrigation and nutrient management recommendations, enabling farms of any size to optimize inputs based on actual field conditions rather than generalized agronomic guidelines.\n\nCropX's platform combines wireless soil sensors that measure moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity at multiple depths with a cloud-based analytics engine that integrates weather data, satellite imagery, and farm management records. Recommendations are delivered via a mobile app, enabling farm managers to make data-driven irrigation decisions in real time. The 2023 acquisition of Regen added 130,000 acres of managed farmland to its platform and expanded its capabilities in carbon and regenerative agriculture. CropX is deployed in 60+ countries across a diverse range of crops and farm types.\n\nCropX has raised $86.1M in total funding, including a Series C in October 2023, and has grown to serve 20,000+ customers with a team of 134 employees. The company's international deployment footprint — spanning North America, Europe, Australia, and emerging agricultural markets — reflects the universal applicability of data-driven soil management. CropX sits at the intersection of precision agriculture, water conservation, and sustainable farming, three of the highest-priority investment themes in global food systems.
