ColdQuanta, a Boulder, Colo.-based quantum atomics company, raised $32M in Series A funding with additional funding expected to close soon.
The round was co-led by Global Frontier Investments and LCP Quantum Partners, with participation from current investor Maverick Ventures and new investor Foundry Group.
