Read full description
The leadership team includes CEO José R. Rosas-Bustos, an expert in decentralized technologies and cybersecurity, and Chief Research Officer Dr. Mark Pecen, who co-founded the ETSI Technical Committee for Quantum Safe Cryptography. EigenQ's core mission is to develop and deploy market-ready quantum solutions to protect critical systems and networks from quantum computer attacks. The company holds exclusive, perpetual, and irrevocable rights to a portfolio of over 140 intellectual property assets.
EigenQ's offerings include post-quantum cryptography, quantum communication networks, quantum computing, and quantum sensing. A key differentiator is its focus on providing a full-stack, quantum-secure ecosystem with both hardware and software solutions. The firm has developed the industry's first FIPS 203 (ML-KEM) and FIPS 204 (ML-DSA) certified hardware accelerators, which are compliant with NIST post-quantum cryptography standards. Strategic partnerships are central to EigenQ's strategy. The company has a collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to integrate its quantum technologies into HPE's infrastructure. Another key partnership with WNC Corporation, a global manufacturing leader, is set to scale the production of EigenQ's Post-Quantum Unit™ (PQU) hardware and Quantum Encryption Module™ (QEM) software stack for servers, appliances, and edge devices.
The company operates on a dual-revenue business model, targeting long-term government contracts with agencies like the DoD and NSA, as well as enterprise licensing for sectors such as banking, telecommunications, and critical infrastructure. It is currently in a growth stage, raising capital through a Reg CF crowdfunding campaign on the Republic platform to fund R&D, IP acquisitions, and operations. EigenQ's primary clients are government and defense agencies and enterprise and commercial entities that require protection for sensitive data and compliance with emerging quantum security standards.
