Scaling Deep-Tech Teams at the Speed of Innovation
An early-stage quantum computing startup, backed by global investors, needed to scale its product and engineering teams quickly to meet critical delivery timelines for a government contract. However, talent availability in quantum algorithms, photonics, and cryogenic systems was extremely limited—and timelines were non-negotiable.

In just 60 days, the startup doubled its technical workforce without compromising on quality or cultural fit.
