QuantumLight, the London-based venture capital firm co-founded by Revolut chief executive Nik Storonsky in 2023, has closed its second fund at €432 million ($500 million), according to reporting by EU-Startups and Sifted.
The close represents a doubling of the firm's first fund, which raised €222 million in May 2025, roughly 15 months earlier. According to QuantumLight CEO Ilya Kondrashov, the new fund exceeded its original target and was oversubscribed.
QuantumLight invests globally across sectors including artificial intelligence, fintech, SaaS, healthtech and deeptech. Instead of relying mainly on the traditional partner-led model for sourcing and evaluating deals, the firm uses a proprietary AI system called Aleph to analyse potential investment opportunities.
