An initiative of Quantam Labs

We fund research that becomes reality.

GQ Fund is a dedicated R&D investment fund for deep tech, biotech, advanced materials, and engineering startups — capital built for the pace of science, not the pace of software.

About Us

India's first R&D-first venture capital fund

We don't fund ideas. We fund intellectual property.

GQ Fund is built for founders solving hard science and engineering problems. We provide patient capital for long-gestation R&D — from lab to market.

We bridge the gap where traditional VCs don't: early-stage research, patent filing, and technology commercialization.

Four stages, from proof-of-concept to global scale — each with capital sized to what that stage of research actually requires.

01
₹50L – ₹2Cr

Concept & Proof-of-Concept Funding

For lab validation, initial research, and prior art search.

We fund

Research costs, lab access, and early IP assessment.

02
₹2Cr – ₹8Cr

Prototype & Patent Filing Funding

For working prototype development and R&D patent application.

We fund

Prototype build and R&D patent application filing in India and overseas.

03
₹8Cr – ₹25Cr

Validation & Scale Funding

For clinical or field trials, regulatory approval, and pilot customers.

We fund

Go-to-market execution, manufacturing setup, and Series A bridge.

04
₹25Cr+

Commercialization & Growth Funding

For IP licensing, global patent expansion, and large-scale manufacturing.

We fund

Scale-stage capital sized to the commercialization plan.

R&D Patent Application Support

Beyond capital: from patent to market

Our R&D funding includes end-to-end patent support, so founders spend their time on research, not paperwork.

01

Patentability & Prior Art Search

We assess the strength and novelty of your research before you file.

02

Patent Drafting & Filing

Provisional and complete specification filing with the Indian Patent Office, plus international PCT filing.

03

IP Strategy & Monetization

Patent portfolio building and licensing support as your research matures.

We cover your patent filing costs as part of the investment.
