System bottleneck
Quantum-photonic teams can demonstrate sophisticated systems yet still struggle to source, characterise and integrate dependable emitters.
INVESTORS
Building the source layer for quantum photonic systems
Photon Foundry is engaging prospective seed investors to advance room-temperature hBN single-photon emitters from research-grade sources towards packaged modules and integrated photonic hardware. Early-access emitters are available to research users today.
Investment thesis
Why the source layer matters
Quantum-photonic systems depend on sources that can be made repeatably, characterised consistently and integrated into practical optical hardware. Photon Foundry is focused on closing the gap between peer-reviewed hBN emitter research and dependable, partner-ready source components.
Room-temperature hBN
Photon Foundry is engineering hBN emitters for repeatable fabrication, photonic coupling and practical packaging without cryogenic operation.
Commercial gap
A substantial peer-reviewed foundation exists; the value-creation work is repeatable production, stable packaging and partner-ready integration.
Evidence
Evidence behind the thesis
Founder-led research
UTS spin-out built on a decade of founder-led, peer-reviewed hBN quantum-photonics research.
Technical breadth
Published work spans room-temperature emission, deterministic emitter fabrication, photonic coupling and proof-of-concept applications.
Paid research demand
Initial paid research-sample sales provide early demand evidence, external evaluation and product feedback.
Australian capability
Sydney-based development creates a pathway for an Australian source component in the quantum-hardware supply chain.
Commercial path
Start with research users; expand as integration matures
A component-first model creates near-term technical feedback while packaging and partner work build towards higher-value modules and integration.
- Available now
Characterised research emitters
Supply early-access emitters to R&D users who can evaluate performance and inform product requirements.

Use of capital
What seed capital enables
Seed capital would fund four workstreams required to move from research-grade emitters towards repeatable, packaged sources.
Repeatable production and characterisation
Increase process control, fabrication repeatability and measurement throughput.
Packaging and photonic integration
Engineer stable optical interfaces, packaged modules and initial PIC-integration pathways.
Team and laboratory capacity
Build the engineering capability and dedicated laboratory infrastructure needed for faster iteration and customer support.
Defensible IP
Protect company-created manufacturing, integration and packaging know-how as the technology matures.
