Presented by SevenTrain Ventures ABOUT THE EVENT Fault-tolerant quantum computers (FTQC) are still years out. Quantum companies are already booking revenue in software, components and sensing. The Quantum Portfolio asks where that value is accruing today, who captures it, and how investors position before the machines arrive. SevenTrain Ventures convenes quantum founders, capital allocators and researchers for a candid, moderated conversation across three verticals: I. Application Layer: Quantum software earning revenue on classical hardware today, owning the customer before fault tolerance arrives. II. Enablement Layer: The picks and shovels addressing bottlenecks and closing the gap between today’s computers and FTQC. III. Quantum Sensing: The vertical already shipping hardware, with no fault-tolerant computer required. SPEAKERS Abhishek Chopra, Founder & CEO, BQP Shankar G.

We’ll meet at Area Four in Technology Square, walk to the Charles River and back, and finish with coffee.

This will be an opportunity to meet fellow founders and leaders to explore the opportunities and challenges that emerge when AI moves beyond just software and into the systems around us.
