We're building the talent intelligence platform that helps quantum companies find qualified professionals and helps quantum professionals advance their careers. Think of it as the hiring and career infrastructure for the trillion-dollar quantum industry.
A year ago, I was debugging code at 2 AM when I stumbled across a quantum computing article. As an engineer, quantum wasn't just another technology - it was a complete reimagining of computation.
But what followed was frustrating:
- I tried joining quantum groups → Got banned on Reddit for asking questions
- I looked for learning → Everything was expensive
- I searched for jobs → Found nothing useful in generic job boards
- I wanted to connect → LinkedIn showed marketers with "quantum" in their bios
I wasn't just struggling to learn quantum computing. I was struggling to find the quantum community that should exist — but didn't.
The quantum community is struggling with real problems:
- "How do I transition from electrical engineering to quantum hardware?" - Career transitioners can't find guidance
- "Where can I ask quantum questions without getting suspended?" - No safe space for quantum learning
- "LinkedIn shows people with 'quantum' tags who don't actually work in the field." - No way to verify real quantum expertise
- "I need someone who understands quantum error correction for my project." - Researchers can't find complementary expertise
The brutal reality: 87% of quantum job postings stay unfilled for 6+ months. The $1.3B industry growing to $5.3B by 2029 has broken talent infrastructure.
Qizz is the quantum talent intelligence platform with three game-changing features:
- Quantum Collaboration Matching Engine: AI matches complementary expertise, enabling 6x faster team formation
- Quantum Talent Readiness Score (QTRS): The first "credit score" for quantum careers, making hiring faster and more reliable
- Quantum Intelligence Layer: Live talent analytics and market insights that power hiring decisions across the industry
Why this works: Built on 1+ years of quantum hiring data from QuantumJobs.us. We solve the core problem - 50% of quantum jobs stay unfilled.
While others build quantum computers, we're building quantum talent intelligence. We'll become the foundation that connects 250,000+ quantum professionals worldwide and powers hiring for 1,000+ quantum companies.
- $1.16B in 2024 → $12.6B by 2032 (34.8% CAGR)
- 250,000 new quantum jobs by 2030
- $1 trillion economic impact projected by 2035
- Only 500 qualified quantum professionals globally, but 1,200+ open positions
The massive talent shortage = our opportunity. TAM for quantum talent intelligence: $50M+ by 2027.
