Before quantum computing arrives, this startup wants enterprises already running on it

Finnish entrepreneur Peter Sarlin, who previously sold Silo AI to AMD for $665 million, has launched QuTwo, an AI startup building infrastructure to help enterprises transition to quantum computing. Rather than waiting for quantum hardware to mature, QuTwo is developing QuTwo OS — an orchestration layer enabling companies to shift from classical to quantum computing via hybrid environments. The company is already working with enterprise customers like Zalando and OP Pohjola through design partnerships worth tens of millions. QuTwo's team includes IQM cofounder Kuan Yen Tan, former Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark, and over 30 quantum and AI scientists. The startup is funded by Sarlin's family office PostScriptum and positions itself as an AI company pushing workloads toward the quantum era.
