IQ Capital

IQ Capital is a Cambridge (UK) deep-tech venture firm, established in 2005, that backs IP-rich frontier founders across intelligence, energy, computation, biology, and resilience. It manages more than $1B across its deep-tech funds. In the PXS map, IQ Capital enters through a specific, sourced relationship: it led Alpine Eagle's €10.25M seed round in March 2025, the airborne counter-drone defense system now mapped to the Physical AI defense/autonomy layer. The firm also closed a $200M fund in June 2023, confirming its deep-tech franchise. The research map records an attributed financing relationship, not a complete portfolio or a live ownership register, and only direct, sourced relationships to existing mapped companies are captured. IQ Capital is most useful as a signal that a leading European deep-tech capital network is backing the autonomous-defense edge of the Physical AI universe, extending the map beyond U.S.-centric capital. A Cambridge-based franchise managing more than $1B across deep-tech funds, IQ Capital's lead position in Alpine Eagle extends the Physical AI map beyond U.S.-centric capital to a European deep-tech network focused on intelligence, energy, and resilience.
