Kindly help an academic with founding a quantum startup!
I'm an academic with a PhD in quantum physics, and would like to found a quantum startup.
As a lifelong academic, I have no idea how industry works (and specially, how startups work). I do plan to do my research on this on YouTube etc but I'm wondering if someone here can help me get started? Just some pointers on where should I begin, where should I learn from, what timeline am I looking at, any pitfalls etc would be of great help. Particularly, if you're aware, what kind of quantum startups are VCs etc looking to fund? Perhaps, I'm thinking about this the wrong way and should instead ask what I may be able to convince people to fund!
I'm currently in Europe (as a postdoctoral scientist) and my startup will likely be based in Poland or Hong Kong, where I worked previously but I'm open to other locations (just in case this matters).
Thanks!
