QuantWare growth playbook

Diagnosis

QuantWare raised $178 million in 2026 to scale VIO and build KiloFab, and says it has shipped to 50+ customers in 20 countries.

Its hiring shows a commercial build-out: a Director of Sales and Sales Managers for long, grant-funded tenders, a Science Communications Manager, a Director of Applications for enterprise business cases, and a finance specialist for grants, export rules and new markets.

The site does not yet support that motion: no page shows the systems QuantWare has powered, canonical tags point to a redirecting address, a third of the sitemap is forms, and spec sheets cover three products. This playbook adds a reference-systems page, a procurement pack and spec sheets first, then program tracking, application studies, QUB and partner programs.

Growth Score

7/10

Biggest Opportunity

Make QuantWare the easiest supplier to specify in a funded tender: visible reference systems, ready procurement documents and early relationships with national programs.

Biggest Risk

Long, tender-driven cycles and export rules can slow revenue while larger quantum firms with in-house hardware compete for the same national programs.

    QuantWare's new Director of Sales says most sales come from government-funded quantum computers at research institutions, with 12-month cycles and tenders. The homepage claims customers in 20 countries and the first quantum computer in over five major economies, and the Series B release says 50+ customers. But there is no page that lists those systems: the proof (Italy's largest quantum computer, the first US Quantum Open Architecture system, Korea, India, Australia) is scattered across 56 news posts.

    Smallest test

    Publish the page with the three deployments already announced in detail.

    Why it works

    Build one page with a map and a card per public deployment: country, institution type, processor, qubit count, year, partners in the stack and a link to the announcement. Add a short "what a first national system looks like" section and a contact path to the regional Sales Manager. Have the Science Communications Manager check every claim and get customer approval for each card.

    Evaluation committees and grant reviewers want evidence that a supplier has delivered systems like theirs; one page makes that evidence easy to cite in a tender.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Customers decline naming

    • Export-sensitive detail

    Why it works

    Change the canonical base in Webflow to https://quantware.com, add an H1 on the homepage that states what QuantWare makes, and fix the copyright year. Then resubmit the sitemap.

    Consistent canonicals and a clear H1 help the pages that matter (processors, VIO, news) rank for the names buyers search.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Brief ranking dip

    Why it works

    Set form pages to noindex and remove them from the sitemap, delete test and copy forms, redirect past-event meeting forms to the events list, and check every remaining form posts to the right HubSpot owner.

    Cleaner search results and fewer stray forms mean fewer lost enquiries.

    Specs are what engineers put in a tender; a clear roadmap removes questions about what can be bought now.

    Meet three US labs.

    Why it works

    Assign a US territory owner, map US programs and labs, line up a US integration partner, and prepare US-specific procurement and export documentation.

    Registration removes a step that blocks many foreign suppliers, and the US deployment is a reference.

    Risks and how to handle them

    • Export and security rules

      Specialist review before every deal.

    Evidence

    Why it works

    Offer a fixed-scope discovery engagement: map a computational bottleneck, estimate resources and produce a roadmap tied to QuantWare processors. Publish anonymised results.

    It builds enterprise demand that does not wait for public tenders.

    Risks and how to handle them

How Programmable can help

Where an idea in this playbook is something Programmable builds or runs, it's listed here with what we'd do. Everything else is yours to run.

Have it built

ProgrammableAgency

1 of the 21 ideas are things Programmable builds and runs for its customers: pages, outreach, prospect lists, booking flows and monitors. Pick one, or send the whole list.

Prospect lists1The list compiled from public sources, verified, deduplicated and delivered to your CRM.

A 30-minute session with the engineer who would build it, not a sales call. You leave with a plan whether or not you hire us.

Usually live within days.

Tools for the rest

ProgrammableInfo

Turn the research into a list you can act on

These ideas start with finding the right companies. Info finds them and the right person at each, researches every one and drafts the outreach, then asks before it sends.

Find the companies (opens programmable.info in a new tab)
ProgrammableTalk

Fill the events in this plan

These ideas are events. Talk gets registrants for them and tells you who's coming and what their company does before the day.

Plan an event (opens programmable.talk in a new tab)
ProgrammableDigital

Show it, don't just describe it

These ideas need something to show: a demo, a video, an animation, graphics or a deck. Digital turns screenshots or the site into all of them, in the company's own brand.

Make a demo (opens programmable.digital in a new tab)

30/60/90 roadmap

What to focus on in each month, and the ideas that carry it.

  1. Days 1 to 306 ideas

    Reference-systems page, canonical fix, sitemap cleanup, Tenor-D64 spec, procurement pack and pre-booked conference meetings.

  2. Days 31 to 6011 ideas

    Program tracker, monthly technical posts, application studies, QUB page, regional partners, funding guide, foundry page and one smart form; engineering stories, local-language news and explainers.

  3. Days 61 to 904 ideas

    Commit to the big bets: VIO-40K reservations, an open compute-per-watt method, a US public-sector motion and paid application discovery.

The research behind the plan

3 research areas, each summarised in a few lines. Open any of them for the full detail.

Customers

What customers say

Customers value high qubit coherence and effective circuit design. The most cited problem: long grant-funded procurement.

  • Open architecture that works with third-party control stacks
  • Integrating processors, control and cryogenics
  • In their words: “QPU”

Market

Competitive landscape

3 competitors compared: Rigetti Computing, IQM and OQC.

  • Gap to exploit: Open, component-level supply for national systems
  • Rigetti Computing: Less open-architecture focus
  • IQM: Sells systems rather than open components

Hiring signals
