Chemical tech company with PetroX for shale oil recovery enhancement and LithX for low-grade lithium extraction; $19M Series A from Olive Tree serving major operators under contract.
MaverickX is a chemical technology company engineering advanced solutions for resource extraction from challenging feedstocks — developing PetroX, a chemical formulation that enhances oil recovery from shale reservoirs beyond what standard drilling and fracking achieves, and LithX, a technology for extracting lithium and other critical minerals from low-grade ores that traditional mining methods cannot economically process. Founded in 2022 by Jesse Evans and Eric Herrera in San Antonio, Texas, MaverickX raised $19 million in April 2025 led by Olive Tree Capital and Y Combinator with a 20-person team serving multiple major oil and gas operators under contract.\n\nMaverickX's PetroX technology targets the significant oil left behind after standard shale well completion — enhanced oil recovery (EOR) from existing wells can meaningfully increase total field production without drilling additional wells, making it economically attractive to operators already managing well infrastructure. LithX addresses the critical mineral supply challenge: most known lithium deposits are low-grade (not economically viable with conventional hydrometallurgical processing), but if MaverickX's chemistry can economically extract lithium from these deposits, it significantly expands the viable lithium supply chain needed for battery manufacturing.\n\nIn 2025, MaverickX operates at the intersection of oil and gas enhancement and critical minerals supply chain — two significant markets that chemical innovation can address. In EOR, MaverickX competes with established chemical EOR providers including Kemira and Stepan Company for enhanced recovery treatments. In critical minerals, LithX competes with direct lithium extraction (DLE) technologies from Lilac Solutions, Standard Lithium, and others for novel extraction methods. The $19 million Series A validates both technology directions, with the oil and gas revenue contracts providing near-term commercial validation while the lithium extraction technology develops. The 2025 strategy focuses on scaling PetroX deployments with current operator contracts, advancing LithX toward commercial pilot scale, and positioning for the energy transition value story that connects fossil fuel enhancement with critical minerals for clean energy.
Cambridge/Colorado trapped-ion quantum computing (Honeywell majority; $625M+/$5B valuation Jun 2024); Helios Nov 2025 at 98 physical/48 logical qubits with 99.9975% fidelity serving Amgen/BMW/JPMorgan competing with IBM Quantum.
Quantinuum is a Cambridge, UK and Broomfield, Colorado-based integrated quantum computing company — majority owned by Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) with $625+ million in total funding including a $300 million round led by JPMorgan Chase at a $5 billion valuation in June 2024 — operating the world's most accurate commercial quantum computers using trapped-ion technology combined with quantum software from Cambridge Quantum. In November 2025, Quantinuum launched Helios, its third-generation quantum computer featuring 98 physical qubits and 48 logical error-corrected qubits with 99.9975% single-qubit gate fidelity and 99.921% two-qubit gate fidelity — the highest-accuracy general-purpose commercial quantum computer commercially available. Serving enterprise customers including Amgen (drug discovery), BMW Group (materials simulation), JPMorgan Chase (financial optimization), and SoftBank Corp. (AI acceleration), Quantinuum was formed in November 2021 through the merger of Honeywell Quantum Solutions and Cambridge Quantum Computing. CEO Ilyas Khan.
