What Ingenii does

Ingenii Inc. is a New York-based quantum machine learning (QML) company founded in 2021 by Christine Johnson (CEO) and Dr. Laia Domingo (CSO). It operates a "Quantum Hub" that bundles three layers: (1) educational pathways (self-paced QML courses, the EQIP 12-week immersion program, and enterprise professional training), (2) tooling including the open-source ingenii-quantum Python library and the Ingenii Exchange use-case validation platform, and (3) applied research and enablement services focused on life-sciences verticals — drug discovery, medical imaging, biomarker discovery, and clinical trial optimization. The proprietary technology centers on hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, quantum-inspired optimization, and evaluation metrics (e.g., entangling capacity, expressibility), with claimed performance advantages including >100x computational efficiency in patient stratification, 75-90% GPU resource reduction, and 2x faster training times for medical imaging models.

The company monetizes through a freemium subscription model for individual learners ($19.99/month for Fundamentals, $29.99/month All Access Bundle or Exchange Premium), a one-time $1,499 fee for the EQIP cohort-based program (limited to 20 seats), and enterprise sales for professional training and QML enablement consulting/POC development. Customer segments span aspiring quantum professionals, data-science teams in pharma/biotech/medtech/CROs, accelerators, and strategy/innovation leaders. The firm holds no patents and has disclosed only ~$100,882 in funding (May 2023), and no external venture capital is on record. Recognition includes the 2024 NIH Quantum Computing Challenge win, selection to Duality Accelerator Cohort 3 (2023), and academic partnerships with Purdue, University of Chicago, Chicago Quantum Exchange, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Ingenii serves a global community of 1,200+ students, scientists, and industry professionals through digital self-serve channels for individuals and direct enterprise sales for organizational clients, with cloud infrastructure spanning Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, and Databricks.
