University of Wisconsin-Madison spinout Dirac Labs Inc. has raised $1.8 million USD in pre-seed funding to prototype and field-test its diamond-based quantum positioning sensors. Led by venture firm TitletownTech (a joint initiative of Microsoft and the Green Bay Packers), the round included participation from Automotive Ventures, Riceberg Ventures, quantumEDGE Ventures, gradCapital, and angel investors Balaji Srinivasan and Jude Gomila. Geomagnetic Quantum Sensing for GPS-Denied Environments GPS signals do not penetrate underwater or underground environments and remain vulnerable to radio-frequency jamming and spoofing in contested defense zones. Dirac Labs addresses these limitations through passive geomagnetic navigation: Co-founded by CEO Dr. Sanket Deshpande [...]
