QC Ware provides enterprise software and services for quantum computing, offering both quantum simulation platforms and applied quantum computing services. The company flagship product, Promethium, is a computational chemistry platform built on quantum chemistry foundations that combines molecular simulation and AI to deliver molecular-level insights for drug discovery. Promethium features QC Score, the world first DFT-based scoring function for drug discovery that delivers FEP-like accuracy in minutes. The platform enables scientists to execute computational chemistry workflows faster while maintaining scientific accuracy, model larger and more complex molecular systems that push beyond practical limits of traditional approaches, and generate high-quality molecular datasets to train, validate, and improve predictive ML models. Promethium runs on GPUs today with a seamless path to quantum computing as the technology matures, supporting insights for computational chemists, medicinal chemists, material scientists, and data scientists. QC Ware also offers Quantum Services applying quantum computing to portfolio risk, logistics, and supply chain optimization problems where conventional approaches become computationally challenging, with service tiers for Strategy, Pilot, and Applied Research. The company serves industry leaders including Airbus for aerospace optimization, Aisin Group for static code testing with quantum computing, and BMW Group for quantum computing in the automotive industry. QC Ware founded Q2B in 2017, the premier quantum computing conference series bringing together researchers, enterprise leaders, hardware developers, and technology providers, with events in Silicon Valley, Paris, Tokyo, Copenhagen, and Chicago. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with offices in Paris, France, QC Ware has raised approximately $33.2 million in Series B funding from investors including Goldman Sachs Investment Partners, Koch Disruptive Technologies, The D. E. Shaw Group, Airbus Ventures, Citi, Covestro, National Science Foundation, Alchemist Accelerator, Fenox Venture Capital, and Pegasus Tech Ventures. The company employs approximately 48 people.
