QuantumLight, the quantitative venture capital firm founded by Nik Storonsky, today announced the final close of its inaugural $250 million Fund I at hard cap. The fund is backed by a global roster of top-tier limited partners, including billionaire tech founders and leading institutions. Since its 2023 launch, QuantumLight has invested in high-growth companies across AI, Web3, Fintech, SaaS, and Healthtech sectors.
Founded by Storonsky, the entrepreneur behind the $45 billion fintech giant Revolut, QuantumLight applies scientific precision to venture capital through its proprietary AI model, Aleph. This systematic approach targets outlier growth-stage companies with data-driven insights.
“Our ambition is to build the world’s best systematic venture capital and growth equity firm — and support founders by sharing operating principles developed at Revolut,” said Nik Storonsky, Founder of QuantumLight and CEO & Founder of Revolut.
Alongside the fund close, QuantumLight publicly launched its second operating playbook, Hiring Top Talent, co-authored by Storonsky. This playbook follows the success of the first manual, Driving High Performance, and reveals the recruitment framework behind Revolut’s rapid scale to over 10,000 employees in around a decade.
The Hiring Top Talent playbook offers founders a structured, repeatable hiring process designed to enable fast yet quality talent acquisition. It emphasizes spotting high-potential problem-solvers and reducing bias through consistency. The playbook treats talent acquisition as a strategic function to be managed internally early on, rather than outsourced. Already implemented by QuantumLight’s portfolio companies, it equips teams with practical frameworks to scale with clarity and intention from day one.
“QuantumLight’s frameworks around hiring brought structure and consistency to how we evaluate candidates. Leveraging these tools accelerated our hiring efforts and gave us a clear foundation,” said Mark Lee, Founder & CEO of MarqVision, a QuantumLight portfolio company.
“By making the operating systems behind iconic companies like Revolut visible and replicable, founders can avoid reinventing the wheel in building high performing teams,” Storonsky added. “Sharing these tools helps scale-ups move faster and more efficiently from day one.”
