Commercialization for quantum technology companies

Quantum, commercialized.

Buyers will not pay for a qubit count, a sensitivity figure or a key rate. LFQ turns technical capability into proof, partnerships and qualified demand.

The technology is advancing.
Adoption requires a different kind of proof.

Buyers need economic evidence, integration confidence and a credible path from experiment to deployment. Most quantum companies have never had to build that case. We identify the strongest market entry point, and build the route to it.

Capital is arriving faster than revenue.

$12.6B invested in quantum start-ups in 2025, 6.3 times more than in 2024
$1B+ revenue earned by quantum computing companies worldwide in 2025
Investment covers quantum technology start-ups; revenue covers quantum computing companies.

Which one are you?

Each kind of quantum company has a different gap to close.

Quantum computing

Hardware, software and services. A believable path to useful work, not the biggest qubit count.

Adoption barrierShowing value on a problem the buyer already pays to solve.
What buyers ask ›

Quantum sensing

Magnetometers, gravimeters, clocks and imaging. A measurable advantage over today’s sensor.

Adoption barrierProof in the buyer’s own conditions, at a cost that works.
What buyers ask ›

Quantum communications

Key distribution, networks and links. Trust, and a clean fit with existing networks.

Adoption barrierStandards, certification and integration with existing infrastructure.

What we do.

Four jobs that turn a technical lead into a market position.

Positioning

Choose where to win and why. Say what you are, what it is worth to a buyer, and where you fit, before the market decides for you.

Commercial credibility

Substantiate claims and build a trust architecture. Prove integration readiness with pilots, papers, partners and standards, sequenced so trust arrives when you need it.

Account-based go-to-market

The market is small, so reach it by name. Pick the accounts that matter, map the buyers and partners around them, and build the pipeline one account at a time.

Sales enablement

Equip technical teams to win commercial conversations: a story they can repeat and the material to close with.

The book

Stop selling a product. Start building a market.

Strategic Entanglement is the playbook behind our work. It starts from a simple observation: brilliance in the lab does not guarantee success in the market. Deep tech companies stall in the commercialization gap, between an innovation and a market ready to adopt it.

Written by Shayne De la Force for founders, investors and marketers in quantum and deep tech. Shayne has worked on strategy in semiconductors across Asia, Europe and the USA, and in advanced manufacturing in Australia.

Inside the book

The Deep Tech Trilemma

Technical risk, market uncertainty and ecosystem dependency pull against each other. The book shows how to see all three at once.

The Quantum Credibility Pyramid

A way to build trust in steps, so buyers, partners and investors believe the story before they are asked to commit.

A three-layer market model

Core activation, enabling influence and strategic environment: where to act first and who else has to move.

Specialist sprint

One problem, solved. A short, targeted piece of work: proof narrative, market-entry plan, partner strategy or launch collateral.

Proof, not promises.

We show our work before you commit, and we never publish an outcome we cannot verify.

Sample deliverables

Anonymized examples of positioning and go-to-market work.

Verifiable credentials

Our track record, with sources you can check.

Founding clients

Three places. Built together, shared openly.

We are taking on three founding clients. We agree eligibility, scope and price upfront. In return, we ask for permission to reference the work, with your approval of anything we publish.
