Investment thesis

Future Labs Capital is a Boston-based deep-tech pre-seed/seed VC founded 2021, investing in frontier science at the university spin-out stage. Cheques $1-5M, co-lead or lead. Focus on quantum computing, advanced computing, AI, materials, energy. Fund size not publicly disclosed.

Quantum portfolio focused on US academic spin-outs with technical deep tech: Atlantic Quantum (MIT spin-out, fluxonium-based superconducting qubits co-founded by William Oliver's team; $9M seed 2022, subsequent growth) and qBraid (quantum software development platform, cloud-agnostic access layer for researchers). Distinctive early bet on fluxonium — an alternative superconducting modality with higher coherence than transmon.

Value-add: MIT / Lincoln Laboratory network depth, strong IP-scouting at the academic transfer-office layer, and close relationships with DOE quantum program managers — relevant for non-dilutive SBIR/DARPA capital alongside equity.

Differentiated as one of the rare US seed-stage VCs with explicit quantum-hardware spin-out focus, positioned at the earliest institutional-capital window.
