Berlin-based Quantistry, a provider of cloud-native chemical simulation platforms, announced on Tuesday that it has secured €3M in a fresh funding round led by Ananda Impact Ventures.
Other investors, including Chemovator, the business incubator of BASF, IBB Ventures, and a Family Office, also participated in the round.
The capital injection will boost Quantistry’s efforts to transform chemical and material R&D with Quantum and AI.
Marcel Quennet, CEO of Quantistry, says, “With the backing of Ananda, Chemovator (BASF), and IBB Ventures we’ve found the perfect partners to realise our vision. It’s clear: simulations not only transform the industrial R&D landscape but also steer it toward a greener future—yet, they remain out of reach for many. Together, we’re democratising this technology, shaping the future of chemical R&D and materials science from Quantum to AI.”
Quantistry: Leading SaaS chemical space
Led by Marcel Quennet (a quantum chemist, cloud computing specialist, and entrepreneur), Quantistry offers an intuitive cloud-native chemical simulation platform tailored to designing and discovering new sustainable materials.
The company does this through its computational platform, which integrates quantum technologies, physics-based simulations, and machine learning.
Through this, Quantistry aims to address the key challenges facing industrial R&D, including high costs, fragmented expertise, and slow innovation.
By leveraging quantum-based simulations, multiscale modelling, and AI-driven insights, the company’s tool enhances the optimisation, discovery, and design of innovative materials, offering unprecedented benefits to industries seeking sustainable solutions.
