QuantumLight, the venture capital firm founded by Revolut’s Nik Storonsky, has raised $250 million for its debut fund to back startups across AI, Web3, FinTech, SaaS, and HealthTech. The fund closed at its hard cap and is supported by a global network of high-profile limited partners, including billionaire tech founders and major institutional investors.
Launched in 2022, QuantumLight sets itself apart by relying entirely on its proprietary AI model, Aleph, to identify high-potential, growth-stage companies. To date, all 17 of the firm’s investments have been driven by Aleph’s recommendations. CEO Ilya Kondrashov explained to Sifted that the firm believes machines are simply better suited for venture analysis—offering perfect memory and immunity to emotional biases like FOMO.
Storonsky sees QuantumLight as a vehicle to bring systematic, data-driven rigor to venture investing, saying, “Our ambition is to build the world’s best systematic venture capital and growth equity firm—and support the new generation of founders by sharing some of the operating principles that we developed at Revolut.”
The firm is also creating playbooks based on Revolut’s growth journey, helping founders accelerate company building by replicating proven systems for hiring, scaling, and performance. Kondrashov added, “Founders shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to building high-performing teams. By sharing these tools and frameworks, we’re helping scale-ups move faster from day one.”
With AI guiding both deal selection and portfolio support, QuantumLight is redefining how VC firms identify and support tomorrow’s unicorns.
