## AI overview

Quantum companies need a credible path from technical progress to customer value, investors say. Qubits Ventures' Nardo Manaloto looks for intermediate products that solve real problems and can earn revenue while advancing the long-term roadmap. 55 North's Owen Lozman assesses whether a technology will address a customer bottleneck when demand arrives, with different milestones for component suppliers, computer developers, and software or applications firms. Revenue can help demonstrate demand, but defensible technology, engineering capability, partnerships, and strategic fit may drive value before sales; applications firms also risk running out of cash if they scale before hardware is ready. Healthcare quantum sensing may reach research markets sooner than applications dependent on future computers, but useful biological measurements must be translated into actionable information, integrated into existing workflows, and meet compliance requirements. Sensor makers may also struggle to capture value when someone else receives the economic benefit.
