IQM CEO Jan Goetz argues that quantum computing companies can achieve profitability much sooner than the commonly assumed decade-long timeline. Speaking at TNW Conference, Goetz revealed that IQM began generating revenue early on by adopting a strategy similar to SpaceX's funding model. He emphasized that waiting years for profitability is unnecessary, as revenue can be generated even with early-stage quantum machines. Goetz's comments challenge the traditional view of quantum computing as a purely long-term investment, suggesting alternative approaches for financial sustainability in the burgeoning field.
