Investment thesis
I4Capital is a Sherbrooke, Québec-based deep-tech seed fund, affiliated with the Université de Sherbrooke DistriQ innovation zone. Invests pre-seed to Series A in Québec-origin hardware, quantum, photonics and advanced materials. Small fund size; cheques CA$250k-CA$1M.
Quantum-adjacent bet: Femtum (Sherbrooke, photonics for semiconductor and quantum fabrication; co-invested alongside Quantacet in the CA$16M oversubscribed Series A March 2026). Femtum's light-source tooling is essential infrastructure for photonic-quantum and silicon-qubit manufacturing.
Value-add: embedded in Québec's quantum corridor (DistriQ, Institut Quantique, ACET accelerator); Investissement Québec and NRC syndication.
Not a quantum specialist — small Québec-focused deep-tech seed with quantum-adjacent infrastructure bets. Useful local co-investor.
