We're backing a 'Father of Siri' to fuse quantum tech and AI

Meet SiC Systems, our first US investment announcement

I’m excited to share with you our first US portfolio company announcement!

SiC Systems, Inc. was founded by Christopher J. Savoie – whose pioneering work with AI agents led to the assistants we know today in mobile devices, smart speakers and beyond – and Seyed Soheil Monsouri, Professor of Process Systems Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), a pioneer of applying model-based tools to complex multi-scale dynamic systems including quantum computing to (bio and chemical) manufacturing applications . 

The company is at the forefront of integrating autonomous AI agents with physical systems. Its proprietary multiagent platform harnesses the power of advanced process modeling, agentic AI, and generative AI models enhanced by quantum computing to enable seamless, adaptive and secure decision-making in dynamic environments. 

These technologies work alongside classical and quantum sensors, making it possible to address complex challenges in sectors where it is crucial to make informed decisions based on deep knowledge and precise modeling of underlying physics. 

Initial focuses for the startup include biomanufacturing, industrial automation, and defense operations.

We have led the startup’s initial funding round, with participation from Propagator Ventures, Plug and Play, and Wavepeak Ventures.

Kris Kaczmarek, our Investment Director said:

"SiC's fusion of agentic AI and quantum innovation represents a leap forward for mission-critical applications. As a dedicated quantum investor, we're thrilled to back a team led by Savoie, whose track record in foundational AI and quantum technologies is second to none."

Look out for news of more of our US investments in the coming weeks.
