Bullhound Capital backs Quantum Systems, Europe’s first dual-use tech unicorn, as it raises €160M in Series C funding

Quantum Systems builds next-generation unmanned aerial systems (UAS) that fuse artificial intelligence, edge computing, autonomy and electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) technology. Their systems provide real-time intelligence for defense, public safety, and commercial operations.

Founded ten years ago by Florian Seibel  and his founders team, Quantum Systems is advancing Europe’s ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) capabilities and strategic autonomy. The company has seen 100% year-on-year revenue growth, complemented by strategic acquisitions such as AirRobot and Nordic Unmanned UK. It is actively scaling operations across Europe, the UK, and APAC.

This new funding will accelerate global expansion, production scale-up, software and AI development, and strategic M&A, as Quantum Systems continues to integrate its value chain. The round is one of Europe’s largest dual-use technology fundraises to date.

This marks Bullhound Capital’s third investment in dual-use technologies from its flagship Fund VI.

Per Roman, Managing Partner at Bullhound Capital, commented: “Quantum Systems is at the forefront of autonomous aerial intelligence, driving critical innovation in defence and AI technologies. We are proud to invest in Florian, Sven and their outstanding team as they scale globally and strengthen Europe’s leadership in this strategically important sector.”

Florian Seibel, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Systems, added: “The need for sovereign, aerial intelligence has never been more pressing. Our systems, a powerful blend of hardware and software, are built for the realities of modern defence and security challenges – they are autonomous, interoperable, and proven under harsh conditions. With support from our new and existing investors, we are ready to become the European leader in robotised and AI-powered aerial intelligence solutions, providing both public and commercial customers with the high-quality, accurate data they need for daily decision-making.”

Bullhound Capital invested through GP Bullhound Fund VI, which also includes late-stage ventures such as Q-CTRL, LeoLabs, EcoVadis, CoverManager, Mentimeter, and Sesame HR. The investment was supported by:

• The LFF 2 Initiative – a partnership between the Société Nationale de Crédit et d’Investissement (SNCI) and the European Investment Fund (EIF), aimed at financing innovation in Luxembourg.
• The European Investment Fund (EIF) – with capital from the GFF – EIF Growth Facility, including matching contributions from both the ERP and EIF.
