Quantum Light is developing quantum dot–based pigments that emit light at specific wavelengths to enable fine control over color and light interaction. The company positions its technology as manipulating light itself rather than relying on traditional reflective pigments. It aims to apply its materials across coatings, plastics, and textiles and is working to validate and sample with commercial partners. Quantum Light has raised a total of $2.1 million in pre-seed funding following a $1.1 million extension. Management says the new capital will accelerate testing, sampling, and capacity expansion as the company scales its platform. CEO Olga Alexopoulou has stated the extension gives the company the ability to move faster toward commercialization.

FreightSuite builds a next-generation, end-to-end freight forwarding platform that autonomously handles data exchange and operational workflows for shippers, carriers, truckers, and customs authorities. The London-based company blends logistics know-how from DHL, EV Cargo, and Rohlig with engineering talent from Apple, Google, and Goldman Sachs to deliver an Apple-like user experience and F1-level speed and accuracy.
