Delta.g secures £4.6m seed round as SCVC continues support from pre-seed
The new capital will allow the startup to deliver field-ready systems with government and industry partners.
SCVC, Science Creates' investment arm, is proud to announce its continued support for Delta.g, the UK-based startup pioneering quantum sensing, as it raises a £4.6 million oversubscribed seed round.
Quantum sensing is one of the first quantum technologies to deliver
real-world impact, enabling breakthrough advances in subsurface imaging,
navigation and environmental monitoring. However, high-resolution spatial data is still limited across sectors, which can drive up operational risks, costs and delays.
SCVC first invested in Delta.g in 2023, leading its £1.5m pre-seed round. As part of that early support, SCVC played a key role in appointing Tony Lowe as CEO to lead the company through its ambitious roadmap. Since then, Delta.g has taken its proprietary technology from the lab into early trials that have demonstrated value across infrastructure, transportation and dual-use cases.
The company is now preparing field-ready systems for deployment with key government and commercial partners, including the UK Department for Transport.
Tony Lowe, CEO of Delta.g, said:
"We’re thrilled by the strong investor support at this early stage. This raise is more than capital, it’s a vote of confidence in our mission to make quantum sensing operational. We’re building the tools to see what others can’t, in places that matter most, from hidden sinkholes to critical transport corridors. With this funding, we’re accelerating our roadmap to deliver smaller and more nimble field-ready systems."
The new capital will enable Delta.g to:
- Expand its technical team and manufacturing capacity
- Deliver field systems through pilot deployments across government and industry
- Advance its analytics platform to integrate quantum-grade geospatial insights into decision-making at scale — creating the “Google Maps” for the subsurface.
John Williams, General Partner at SCVC, said:
“Delta.g is a perfect example of our thesis in action – backing transformative science early, building the company around it, and supporting the leadership to turn breakthrough ideas into impact. This milestone reflects years of hard work by an exceptional team, and we are proud to continue supporting them as they scale.”
Delta.g’s ambition is to become the global leader in operational quantum sensing, providing a foundational layer of trusted, high-resolution spatial intelligence for the 21st century.
The round was led by Serendipity Capital with participation from NSSIF and SCVC.
