🔥 Welcome to the Ananda family, Quantistry!

Quantistry, has raised €3M in funding to accelerate the design and discovery of new sustainable materials with #Quantum and #AI!

👨‍🔬 In this critical time when industries are under increasing pressure to find greener alternatives, Industrial R&D faces many challenges, including high costs, fragmented expertise, and slow innovation.

⚛ By leveraging quantum-based simulations, multiscale modeling, and AI-driven insights, Quantistry’s #chemical #predictions minimise the need for physical experiments, reducing toxic waste, cutting CO2 emissions, and saving energy and water. Their chemical simulation platform enables rapid testing of hundreds of thousands of systems to explore the material space, offering unprecedented benefits to industries seeking #sustainable solutions. 🌱 

We are thrilled to announce that we led Quantistry Investment Round with contributions from notable co-investors, Chemovator the business incubator of BASF, IBB Ventures, and a Family Office. This funding will accelerate Quantistry's efforts to transform chemical R&D and discovery of new materials, promoting sustainable futures across several fast-growing industries.

Our Investment Manager, Alina Bassi, said: "We believe that Quantistry has a key role to play in the future of new sustainable materials, using quantum chemistry, chemical simulations and AI. Ananda brings our knowledge and networks from the chemical industry and that of scaling software, to support Quantistry in their growth towards an ever-growing impactful organization.”

👏 Congratulations to Marcel Quennet, Arturo Robertazzi, Stefan Kupferberg, and the rest of the team on this successful round.
