IQM's Billion-Dollar-Plus SPAC: Taking Quantum Computing Public with Jan Goetz & Peter Ort
1:48
7:16

Mike BlankenshipHOST
So Pete, tell us a little about yourself and, you know, in your view, what makes IQM special?
P
2:04Peter OrtGUEST
But more recently, I'm an active SPAC sponsor, and I'm also a partner at a venture capital firm called Cambium Capital.
5 MINS LATER

Mike BlankenshipHOST
And Pete, you touched on it a little bit, but why is IQM a great investment opportunity for your SPAC?
Inside IQM’s $1.7B Quantum Computing Deal with Real Asset Acquisition Corp.

Nick ClaytonHOST
What put IQM on a real assets radar and how did it move to the top of your list as you were searching for a partner company?
P
2:41Peter OrtGUEST
So in addition to being the principal executive officer of the RAC SPAC, I'm a partner at Cambium Capital Management, which is an early stage venture firm that launched in 2018.
P
2:52Peter OrtGUEST
And we have a very narrow focus at Cambium, which is we only invest in companies focused on advanced computing.
P
3:04Peter OrtGUEST
and several of my partners are longtime investors and operators within the quantum ecosystem well prior to Cambium launching.
17 MINS LATER

Nick ClaytonHOST
And Peter, given all the movement we've seen among the listed comps in the quantum computing space, as Jan was just pointing out there, how did you come to evaluation on IQM and what were some of the metrics that you found particularly instructive in how you put a price on this opportunity?
112 - Peter Ort - Marketing and Culture
P
29:49Peter OrtGUEST
Well, I think too then, you know, when we think about culture, um, it, it, you know, it is a dynamic thing, but we need to be talking about it with every employee.
P
29:59Peter OrtGUEST
And one of my favorite stories was, uh, when JFK in the early '60s went to tour the NASA facility, and he walks up on this older fella there, a gentleman.
P
30:15Peter OrtGUEST
But he asked this gentleman, you know, "What do you do here?" And the guy's kind of standing there with a broom.
P
30:20Peter OrtGUEST
It looked kind of obvious, but he said, "I'm helping to send a man to the moon."And the idea that NASA, and again, I think that story's been collaborated, but NASA had such a, um, grasp on that idea, that culture, that every single person, uh, embodied that, including the custodial staff, that their job directly linked to sending a man to the moon.
