Haiqu

Haiqu is a U.S.-Ukrainian quantum software startup founded in September 2022 in Palo Alto by Richard Givhan and Mykola Maksymenko, developing middleware to significantly enhance performance of noisy near-term quantum processors. The company’s technology enables execution of quantum circuits up to 100 times deeper by improving transpilation and resilience to noise and errors in quantum computing. Haiqu operates with distributed team across United States, Ukraine, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and UK. In 2023, Haiqu secured $4 million in pre-seed funding to support product development and build partner ecosystem for market launch, with investors including Toyota Ventures and u.ventures. In 2024, Haiqu raised additional $1.6 million for the Compilation Open Design (CODE) project advancing Canadian innovation through open-source quantum computing access. Haiqu serves quantum computing hardware providers and researchers requiring quantum error mitigation solutions for NISQ-era quantum computers.
