What Quantum Coast Capital does

Quantum Coast Capital is a private venture capital firm founded in 2024 and headquartered in Palm Beach County, Florida, that invests in early-stage quantum technology startups. The firm targets five investment verticals: quantum sensing (defense, energy, navigation), quantum networking (secure distributed communication), quantum hardware (superconducting qubits and novel architectures), post-quantum security (quantum-resilient cryptography), and quantum applications (software and algorithms for logistics, finance, and science). Its core offering to portfolio companies is patient early-stage capital combined with in-house scientific diligence, operational support, and access to a broad quantum ecosystem spanning industry leaders, academic researchers, and government entities.

Quantum Coast Capital's revenue model follows standard venture capital economics, generating income through management fees on assets under management and carried interest on successful exits; the firm does not publicly disclose AUM, fund size, or revenue. Its go-to-market is event-driven and community-led, anchored by flagship gatherings such as Quantum Beach 2025 in West Palm Beach and the Quantum Leadership Summit in Montana, alongside speaking engagements at SXSW 2025, eMerge Americas, and Quantum World Congress. The firm has built a network of strategic alliances — including the Florida Opportunity Fund, Business Development Board of Palm Beach County, Quantonation, Meaningful Ventures 2.0, Holland & Knight, Palm Beach State College, and Florida Atlantic University — and co-leads the statewide Florida Quantum initiative with Medina Ventures.

The leadership team combines technical and operational depth unusual for a 2024-vintage fund: Founder & Managing Partner Matt Cimaglia; Chief Investment Officer & General Partner Hillary Matchett (25+ years in finance and strategic development); Chief Science Officer & GP Dmitry Green; Senior Advisors Ronald Walsworth (Founding Director of the University of Maryland Quantum Technology Center) and Dan Hart (former CEO of Virgin Orbit and Boeing VP); and Technical Advisor Anastasia Marchenkova. The legal entity is Quantum Coast Capital Management LLC, a Delaware LLC, with the firm controlled by U.S. citizens and structured with a general-partner-led fund model.
