Israeli quantum software company Classiq today announced the completion of a $110 million Series C financing round. The quantum computing sector is booming and Classiq’s fund raising comes three months after another Israeli company – Quantum Machines – raised $170 million. Classiq did not disclose the valuation at which the round was completed but industry sources estimate it at above $400 million. The modest valuation is in line with the company’s annual revenue, which is estimated at $8-9 million.
