Beit

Beit is a quantum computing software company based in Millbrae, California, and Krakow, Poland, that develops hardware-agnostic algorithms to solve complex NP-complete optimization problems. The enterprise software provider focuses on creating quantum and quantum-inspired classical solutions for the pharmaceutical, healthcare, and logistics sectors, targeting computationally heavy tasks such as protein folding and drug discovery. Operating a business-to-business model centered on algorithm licensing and enterprise consulting, the venture-backed startup designs its patented algorithms to function independently of specific quantum hardware architectures while advancing quantum advantage by two to three years. Beit has raised $1.4 million in seed funding with financial backing from prominent venture capital firms including S28 Capital, DCVC, Kindred Capital, Manta Ray, and Experior Venture Fund. The World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer was founded in 2017 by Paulina Mazurek, Wojciech Burkot, and Witold Jarnicki.
