How do you build a quantum computing startup?

In this episode of The Quantum Kid, Kai visits a real quantum computing startup, ZuriQ, at ETH Zurich to find out what it takes to build a company in one of the world's most advanced technologies.
How do quantum startups begin? Who provides the funding? What makes a good founder? And what happens if your company fails?
Kai speaks with:
• David DiVincenzo, pioneer of quantum computing and creator of the DiVincenzo criteria
• Alexandra Beckstein, CEO of QAI Ventures, a venture capital firm investing in quantum technologies
Explore a quantum lab with Kai to learn how atoms can become qubits, and why building a startup requires much more than just a great idea!
