Quantum control infrastructure company providing software that dramatically reduces error rates in quantum computers.
Q-CTRL is a Sydney-based quantum technology company that provides quantum control infrastructure software — firmware and middleware that sits between quantum hardware and application software to actively suppress errors and improve qubit performance. Quantum computers are extremely sensitive to environmental noise that introduces errors in calculations; Q-CTRL's AI-driven control systems continuously monitor and compensate for these errors, dramatically improving the reliability and accuracy of quantum processors without changing the underlying hardware. The company's Black Opal platform provides quantum computing education and training, while Boulder Opal targets research and hardware teams improving their quantum processors. Q-CTRL also develops quantum sensing technology using similar control techniques for navigation, gravimetry, and defense applications. Founded in 2017 by physicist Michael Biercuk, Q-CTRL raised over $77M from investors including Sierra Ventures, Square Peg Capital, and DCVC. The company has established partnerships with quantum hardware providers including IBM, Honeywell (Quantinuum), and IonQ, whose systems benefit from Q-CTRL's error suppression.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
