A few pics from the recent conference circuit! Someone asked me if I get stage fright anymore. I don’t really, but I feel like I can always do a better job. Communication is a big part of entrepreneurship - with AI this matters even more.

Speaking has become the way I learn in public, educate, and have the best conversations with people in deep tech. You can read papers and be on zoom all year, and you still get more connections in 48 hours of being in the room together.

So honored to share the stage at ISIG and CESQ with leaders from Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Jij, Quantinuum, Quandela, BTQ. and QPerfect, from talking Cryptography in the Quantum Era to the fireside chat on real-world quantum workloads. taken in Leuven, Belgium by @amarchenkova

It’s embarrassing to sound like AI slop when not even using AI slop 🤪 what voice to text AI tools are you using and does it actually work? I’m going to try out @whisprflow and @superwhisperapp this week (and vibe code my own). Whichever one actually understands qubits instead of captioning “cubits” will win! by @amarchenkova

I’m officially a VC 😁 Pleased to invest alongside Third Point Ventures, DCVC, and Cisco Investments in the Atom Computing Series C in March 2026. Since closing, Atom was also selected to receive $100 million in planned funding under the Commerce Department’s $2 billion CHIPS quantum initiative with a total of over $300M raised. by @amarchenkova
