Nir Minerbi, Yehuda Naveh and Amir Naveh

Classiq
Classiq develops software for quantum algorithms. The company's software technology helps teams model, synthesize, and analyze previously impossible quantum circuits.

Nir Minerbi and Amir Naveh have known each other since childhood. They graduated at the top of their class at school, then continued together into Talpiot, Israel’s military elite technology leadership program. They stayed close through a decade of service in leading technology units, always with the idea that one day they would build something meaningful together in advanced computing. After several months of ideation and deep research, they were joined by Dr. Yehuda Naveh who brought exceptional technical depth in the quantum field. Together they identified the scale of the opportunity in quantum software and decided to focus their efforts there.

Entrée Capital helped to ideate the business, and was its first investor, later participating in the Series A, B and C.

“From the first meeting with Ran at Entrée Capital, it was clear that this was the partner to build the company with. Ran had already developed one of the most thorough understandings of the quantum computing landscape and articulated a clear vision for how to lead the market.”

– Amir Naveh, CTO and co-founder

“Entree were not just partners in our journey. Without their guidance, conviction and hands-on support, the company would not be anywhere near where it is today, if it existed at all. Entrée is just another word for devotion, alignment, friendship, and professionalism. If you want an investor that in practice, acts like another co-founder, and will walk you through ice and fire – Entrée is your choice.”
