BQP (BosonQ Psi), a dual-use quantum-accelerated simulation software company, has successfully closed an oversubscribed $4.8 million seed funding round. This brings the company’s total funding to $6.6 million, with an additional $1.7 million raised in this Seed-II round since their last report in December. The new capital will be used to expand its unified digital twin platform, BQPhy®, for mission-critical industries such as aerospace, defense (A&D), and semiconductors.
The funding round was led by Monta Vista Capital, with participation from Arc Ventures, Armory Square Ventures, Emergent Ventures, Alumni Ventures, Arka Venture Labs, Transpose Platform, and New York Ventures (the investment arm of Empire State Development). Existing investors, including Paradigm Shift Capital and Griffiss Institute (as part of the Mojave Aerospace Accelerator Fund), also participated.

The round also saw participation from existing investors, including Paradigm Shift Capital and Griffiss Institute, as part of the Mojave Aerospace Accelerator Fund.
This investment follows a strategic collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory Aerospace Systems Directorate (AFRL/RQ) under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). This partnership aims to accelerate mission-critical modeling and simulation capabilities using quantum computing. BQP’s current BQPhy platform utilizes quantum-inspired solvers, offering a 10X performance boost on existing CPU/GPU hardware. The company anticipates future quantum-native solvers will provide up to 1000X gains on forthcoming quantum computers.
BQP is actively collaborating with leading quantum ecosystem partners, including Intel, IBM, Classiq, and Strangeworks. The company’s vision for BQPhy is to serve as a backend platform that integrates seamlessly into existing simulation workflows and software, optimized for hybrid computing architectures.
