Capital Raising Strategies for Quantum Companies

Maria Witte is the founder of Arise Innovations, a company redefining how scientific ventures become fundable and scalable.

With a background in chemistry & nanotech, and over 130 projects under her belt, she developed a proprietary reverse-engineering system that starts not with business plans, but with the physics, chemistry, or biology at the core of the innovation. Her approach has helped deep tech ventures across Europe secure millions in strategic funding - by rejecting the rules of the lean startup playbook or business wishful thinking.

Known for challenging both founders and funders to think beyond hype cycles, she works with startups, corporates and investors to design capital logic around real scientific potential - not just buzzword-y speculative storytelling.
