Washington, DC – March 24, 2026 – Escape Velocity, a premier national security advisory firm, today announced a significant strategic investment through its venture arm in Diffraqtion, an innovator at the forefront of quantum imaging technology.
This investment marks a pivotal expansion of Escape Velocity’s venture portfolio into the quantum ecosystem, building upon the firm’s proven track record of backing high-impact dual-use technologies, which includes its previous investment in SilverThread, a Cambridge, Massachusetts-based enterprise software modernization firm and Bit Flips a Denver based fintech firm. Diffraqtion is recognized for its groundbreaking work utilizing quantum imaging to bypass the traditional limits of classical optical systems. Their proprietary technology enables imaging at unprecedented resolutions and speed-of-light compute, offering critical capabilities for national defense, space domain awareness, and advanced intelligence gathering.
“The Escape Velocity mission is to identify patriots and innovators and accelerate the development of transformative technologies that are vital to U.S. national security interests,” said JP Parker, CEO at Escape Velocity. “Diffraqtion isn’t just improving how we see the world; they are fundamentally redefining the boundaries of optical physics and edge compute. We are thrilled our venture arm is supporting their journey as they transition from revolutionary research to critical national security applications.”
The capital infusion will be used to accelerate Diffraqtion’s product development timeline, expand their engineering team, and facilitate the launch of their first commercial-grade quantum sensor suite for both government and commercial deployment.
