Quantum-software firm Classiq closes a strategic up-round (AMD, Qualcomm Ventures, IonQ), passing $200M cumulative
On 2025-11-13 Classiq, a quantum-software platform company, announced a strategic up-round of tens of millions of dollars with new participation from AMD Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures and IonQ, alongside Mirae Asset Capital, LeumiTech (Bank Leumi) and Quantum Eretz, bringing cumulative funding above $200 million. The exact round size was not disclosed. Disclosed via Classiq and press.
An up-round (higher valuation) for a leading quantum-software company with strategic semiconductor (AMD, Qualcomm) and quantum-hardware (IonQ) investors signals continued private-capital confidence in the software layer; the imprecise 'tens of millions' figure limits the read, placing it in the mid band.
Strategic investment from AMD/Qualcomm/IonQ aligns Classiq's compiler/platform with their hardware roadmaps and hints at deeper hardware-software co-design; it also marks IonQ deploying balance-sheet strength as a strategic investor, not just an acquirer.
