Venture Partners at CU Boulder bridged a historic investment gap to move a deep tech spin-off a step closer to the marketplace by awarding $100,000 in pre-seed funding to PrecisionTerra, founded by CEO Maithreyi Gopalakrishnan (alum, CU Boulder Physics). Gopalakrishnan went on to win $144,000 in additional funding for the company in the 2025 New Venture Challenge.

Venture Partners created the pre-seed fund to help bridge the so-called “valley of death” between research and commercialization, where even high-potential start-ups can sometimes get lost, said Bryn Rees, associate vice chancellor for innovation and partnerships. “When somebody creates an innovation with broad potential to be translated out into a new venture, there is now funding to support the earliest stages of that new company,” said Rees. “This was a missing piece.”

With the new funding mechanism, the university supports company founders translating CU Boulder innovations with high potential for broad, real-world applications, said Rees. The fund is intended to help startups as they prepare for outside investment, a critical moment on their path to commercialization.

“It’s a demonstration of the university's commitment to innovation and to its faculty,” said Rees. “For CU Boulder to be a destination of choice for the most innovative faculty and students, it’s critical that we support and resource our innovators, and having this new investment mechanism, a pre-seed investment fund, is a really important part of that. This complements the many upstream funding resources, like the Lab Venture Challenge, and downstream resources, like Buff Gold Ventures.”

PrecisionTerra is commercializing a cutting-edge software solution that enhances coverage in GPS-degraded environments where signals are weak, including those with ‘vertical distractions’ such as tall buildings, deep canyons or even large trees. The breakthrough technology, which improves the signal strength of GNSS receivers, was developed by Jade Morton (CU Boulder Ann and H.J. Smead Aerospace Engineering Sciences), director of the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research and leader of the Satellite Navigation and Sensing Laboratory.

The tech addresses a critical market need in industries where poor GPS quality undermines performance, including mapping, autonomous vehicles and military operations. “What excites me about Dr. Morton's technology is its potential to improve the reliability of positioning systems used in mission-critical applications where human safety and economic stability are of utmost importance,” said Gopalakrishnan. “Think collision avoidance for autonomous vehicles, autonomous planting and harvesting operations for large-scale farming, and military navigation in active war zones.”

But what is "commercialization?"

The path to commercialization—also known as "research translation" or "tech transfer"—can be challenging, so Venture Partners unites industry partners, entrepreneurs and investors to help researchers, inventors and creators at the University of Colorado bring their groundbreaking discoveries into the marketplace.

Explore the Path to Commercialization

An exceptional partnership

As an undergraduate, Gopalakrishnan was a Boettcher scholar and pursued a passion for engineering, entrepreneurship and dance. Post-graduation, she celebrates an enduring connection to the university and to strengthening community bonds. On a whim during the pandemic, Gopalakrishnan began volunteering as a mentor with Venture Partners and has seen several of those entrepreneurs develop flourishing, impactful companies.

Passionate about solving large-scale problems by leveraging frontier technology, Gopalakrishnan founded PrecisionTerra as an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) in the inaugural cohort of the Embark Deep Tech Startup Creator. Embark is a Venture Partners’ program that matches entrepreneurs with promising CU innovations and provides intellectual property (IP) rights, salary support, grant funds and investor introductions to selected EIRs.

Through Embark, Gopalakrishnan and others explored Venture Partners’ curated portfolio of CU Boulder technologies. “These were some of our top technologies that we believe could be, and should be, a startup,” said Marta Zgagacz, senior director at Venture Partners. Once Gopalakrishnan learned more about Morton’s remarkable research, she knew she wanted to form a company around it and pitched a commercialization plan to land the six-month spot as an EIR.

The Venture Partners’ team was impressed with Gopalakrishnan’s pitch, said Zgagacz. She had already tested the technology and engaged in customer discovery with big and small companies through the NSF I-Corps: Hub West Region programming offered through Venture Partners to find out how Morton’s GPS technology could meet their needs. “Because Maithreyi has the technical background and the entrepreneurial background, she’s really the full package,” said Zgagacz.

In addition to Embark, Gopalakrishnan took part in other CU Boulder programs, including the New Venture Challenge, and has managed Catalyze CU and been a mentor for other aspiring entrepreneurs. It’s that long-term relationship and the fact that Gopalakrishnan has been an “exceptional partner,” said Rees, that made PrecisionTerra an obvious choice for the new pre-seed funding. “In Maithreyi, we’re attracting the interest of very talented entrepreneurs who want to be a part of the university’s entrepreneurial ecosystem,” he said.

Moving the needle forward

Already, PrecisionTerra has letters of intent from prospective customers and at least one cooperative agreement in place with a large GPS receiver manufacturer that is loaning the company some hardware to test software capabilities over the coming months. Gopalakrishnan emphasized that a software solution for GPS signal-weak environments is attractive to existing companies because it doesn’t require manufacturing new chips or motherboards which are lengthy and costly upgrades.

PrecisionTerra now has a fully operational end-to-end, software-based GPS signal processor. “It’s not yet a complete product, but it’s absolutely the foundation we need to do validation testing,” said Gopalakrishnan. The new pre-seed funding, combined with competition winnings and additional pre-seed funding from outside sources, will allow the company to hire a summer staff to perform critical testing proving how the PrecisionTerra’s tech bests what is on the market today.

“I was really honored to receive funding, and I think it’s going to be tremendously helpful in accelerating some early testing that we need to do,” said Gopalakrishnan. “We can take those results, go to prospective customers and say, ‘This is a commercial grade device and you can see how much more effective our ability to track GPS signals is’—and that would really move the needle forward for us as a company.”

Innovation incubator

The new pre-seed funding is the latest element complementing a robust ecosystem attracting the best researchers, entrepreneurs and investors to CU Boulder, said Rees. “The environment that we’ve created here in Venture Partners is an incubator through which founders can really prove themselves."

Gopalakrishnan credits Rees and colleagues for being there every step of the way, from curating outstanding innovations to PrecisionTerra’s founding and where the company is now. “At this point, Venture Partners really feels almost like a family that is there for me and has my back. They’re always thinking about ways and opportunities to provide us with support,” she said. “It’s all so valuable.”

In PrecisionTerra, Rees sees both proof of concept in how university innovators can imagine their work translated to commercial products (even if they don’t want to be the ones running the company) and how entrepreneurs can take that baton and carry it forward. “Maithreyi and others have laid out a great model of how to engage with the university, build a new venture, and get this initial investment. It’s a replicable model that others are already doing well,” said Rees. “And the more, the better.”

Winning big at the Boulder Theater

Most recently, PrecisionTerra garnered significant recognition at CU Boulder’s 2025 New Venture Challenge (NVC) Finals, where entrepreneurial teams of CU Boulder students, faculty and staff competed for a share of $325,000 in funding. Gopalakrishnan’s pitch secured the top prize of $144,000 in the newly introduced Deep Tech Category, which focuses on ventures built around scientific or technological innovations, a partnership between Venture Partners and NVC.

The recognition and funding from CU’s top-ranked entrepreneurial competition not only underscores PrecisionTerra's potential impact but also highlights the entrepreneurial spirit and opportunity fostered within CU Boulder's vibrant startup ecosystem.

The coolest technology in the universe Daniel Corbin … Mon, 04/14/2025 - 13:24

Infleqtion’s star continues to rise as Colorado’s quantum hub grows. The company of firsts, spun out of CU Boulder as ColdQuanta, seems to be everywhere these days, including outer space, while commercializing pioneering research to address needs across several critical markets including positioning, navigating and timing, global communication security and efficiency, resilient energy distribution, and accelerated quantum computing.

Dana Anderson, Glenn L. Murphy Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Professor of Physics and JILA Fellow, 2024

It was decades ago but Dana Anderson (JILA, CU Boulder College of Arts and Sciences and College of Engineering and Applied Science) still recalls well the day his research took a major turn. “I started to do atoms instead of photons,” he said. While Anderson makes it sound like a subtle shift–focusing on atoms and subatomic particles instead of particles of light (lasers)–that move has contributed significantly to the present and future of quantum technologies worldwide.

Anderson, now Infleqtion’s chief technology officer, then began focusing on cold atom inertial sensing, a process in which ultra-cold atoms (cooled to near absolute zero) are used to precisely measure forces like rotation and acceleration. That unprecedented accuracy is based on leveraging atoms’ wave-like nature in a controlled quantum state. It was groundbreaking work also built on a strong foundation of quantum innovation at CU Boulder spanning decades and (up to that point) two Nobel Prizes.

That was the mid-1990s and, around the same time, Anderson’s JILA colleagues, NIST fellow Eric Cornell and CU Boulder physicist Carl Wieman, created a never-before-seen state of matter called the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), in which ultracold atoms coalesce into a single “superatom” with uniform properties. They received the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physics for that work, shared with MIT physicist Wolfgang Ketterle and 70 years after Albert Einstein predicted BECs could exist based on the work of Satyenda Bose. “Boy, that’s going to be useful,” Anderson recalls thinking at the time, imagining BEC being used to dramatically boost the performance of various devices, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, gravimeters and magnetometers. “I felt that it would change the world,” he said.

Following the BEC breakthrough, the trio went on to guide cold atoms through hollow core optical fibers, leading to Anderson and Cornell’s “atom chip” work and Anderson’s group demonstrating the first ultracold atom chip “portable vacuum system” in 2004. Those innovative techniques created a controlled environment for Anderson and others to study and manipulate atoms, a critical step in developing technologies like atomic clocks, quantum sensors and quantum computers.

“Slowly building the technology”

As a “born and raised physicist,” said Anderson, he’s always looking for practical applications for cutting-edge science. “I’m an applied physicist, so I like to do things that are useful,” he said. “They don’t have to happen tomorrow but be useful sooner or later.” In those earlier days of quantum research, making that transition meant landing grants from the U.S. Army and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). That funding, said Anderson, “allowed us to focus on developing the technology and getting it out into the world.” During that time, they solved many problems, said Anderson. “We were struggling and making mistakes like gangbusters and trying this and trying that, and slowly building the technology,” he said.

In 2007, Anderson made the first critical leap from lab to market when he founded ColdQuanta with the goal of streamlining devices for BEC experiments using the technology discovered at CU. After receiving a $100,000 proof of concept investment from what was then the CU Technology Transfer Office (now Venture Partners at CU Boulder), ColdQuanta earned contracts from the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, NASA and the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Josh Bennett, assistant director of licensing at Venture Partners, now manages much of the university’s portfolio of quantum technologies, and he sees Infleqtion’s success as key to both advancing quantum research worldwide and paving the way for new quantum spinouts from CU. “Since they were the first real quantum company out of Colorado to translate their research into a commercial entity, and they’ve become a leader globally in their research and in their work, I think it’s fair to say that without Infleqtion (or ColdQuanta), we wouldn’t be seeing all these other quantum spin-outs in the last two, three years,” he said.

Infleqtion laid the groundwork for several other CU Boulder quantum companies now working with Venture Partners, including Icarus Quantum, Flari Tech and Mesa Quantum. Today, through Venture Partners (the commercialization arm for CU Boulder, CU Denver’s physical sciences and UCCS), the entrepreneurs behind these startups have myriad programs to help get their ventures off the ground.

But what is "commercialization?"

Explore the Path to Commercialization

What distinguishes Infleqtion today, said Scott Sternberg, executive director of the CUbit Quantum Initiative, is their ability to combine the capabilities of quantum phenomenon with highly engineered platforms that focus on customer usability. “Infleqtion embodies the vibrant campus efforts to support the translation of fundamental discovery towards product realization and company growth,” said Sternberg. “We are fortunate to have such a great company, forged here in Boulder, that now leads the international quantum community.”

Beyond proving that quantum tech can lead to a compelling business entity, Infleqtion blazed the trail to Colorado becoming a national quantum hub, said Bryn Rees, associate vice chancellor for innovation and partnerships. He points to Anderson’s important role in boosting Elevate Quantum, a consortium of over 120 quantum-focused organizations in Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico. “[Infleqtion] has become an international quantum success and sensation,” he said. “They're now a big-time player.”

Inflection points

Anderson recalls well how most people responded when he first started pitching the concept of commercializing quantum tech. Looking back on his first quantum-related NSF proposal nearly 20 years ago, he said, “Now those [concepts] seem right in the thick of things but back then most people said, ‘This is too unrealistic’. That’s what it was like.” Anderson knew that he was on the fringe, especially at a time when most people still used flip phones. “We were crazy people that were really gung-ho, and yet, we certainly didn't have a good business ‘story’,” said Anderson. “But I just believed that quantum was going to be important.”

Now quantum technology promises to revolutionize industries from computing, healthcare, defense, energy, finance and beyond. Building on decades of research from Anderson and others, Infleqtion is driving advances in that burgeoning ecosystem. The company now offers quantum hardware and software products—from quantum clocks and sensors, positioning components and glass cells containing cold atoms to quantum computers and quantum-enabled, AI-driven software.

Several years ago, Anderson famously took ultracold atoms (around 10 million of them) out of the lab and onto his own plane, to test the robustness of his team’s magneto-optical trap. Not long after that, it was deployed by NASA for use on the International Space Station, making it what could be called the ‘coolest’ tech in the universe. “When we commercialized a Bose Einstein condensation machine… including making things very small,” said Anderson, “NASA noticed and said, ‘Let's put it up into space’. And that was terribly important for our growing up.”

Research labs and commercial entities worldwide are now using Infleqtion’s products to generate high-value information and improve reliability and performance in quantum computing. Customers and collaborators include the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, the Japanese Moonshot Program, the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre and the Defense Cyber Marvel 3, a global cyber defense competition..

Infleqtion is also now participating in the first round of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) newly formed Quantum & Space Collaboration. The collaboration aims to use quantum tech to move the needle forward in national security, energy/sustainability and economic interests.

In 2022, ColdQuanta adopted the trade name Infleqtion to mark the company’s transition from research and development of quantum technology to deploying it for commercial uses. The company has now been through two successful rounds of funding, most recently raising $110 million in its Series B round in 2022. TIME magazine also named the company’s cloud-based quantum matter machine, dubbed “Albert,” as one of its 2022 Best Inventions. Infleqtion’s software platform recently secured a $1.15 million DOE grant, paving the way for energy-efficient computing.

Of all its latest advances, Anderson is most enthusiastic about Oqtant, a first-of-its-kind quantum innovation platform launched last year that democratizes quantum discovery and invention by giving researchers, innovators and students access to quantum matter via BECs where they can create, manipulate and study quantum phenomena—and all they need is internet access. “I’m extremely excited about Oqtant,” said Anderson. “Everyone having the building blocks of our universe at their fingertips points us toward a new age of exploration and discovery.”

Anderson is gratified to see that he and his colleagues' own 'eureka' quantum moments of long ago are finally being realized on a larger scale. Infleqtion’s readiness to meet that new understanding and demand has meant quantum leaps in the company’s recent growth. “We knew that BEC was going to be big, and we’re seeing that now,” he said.
