Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) - Canvas Business Model: Customer Relationships

You're looking at how Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) manages its relationships with customers as of late 2025, a period marked by capital sales headwinds, especially in the U.S. academic market.

Dedicated commercial team focused on high-growth pharma and biotech

Quantum-Si incorporated has been putting greater emphasis on the pharma and biotech opportunity with its U.S. commercial team, particularly as NIH funding uncertainty slowed capital purchases in the academic sector in the first half of 2025. The commercial team executed specific initiatives in Q2 2025 to grow this segment's pipeline. The funnel of opportunities in pharma and biotech more than doubled during the second quarter of 2025, moving from approximately 30 opportunities at the end of Q1 2025 to more than 60 by the end of Q2 2025. This focus is intended to drive continued growth in both new instrument sales and ongoing consumable revenue.

Instrument placement program to overcome capital sales headwinds

To counter the slow-down in capital spending, Quantum-Si incorporated launched an expanded set of instrument acquisition options, including the instrument placement program. Since this initiative started, a total of 12 new customers have implemented the Platinum Pro platform, and all of those customers proceeded to make their initial reagent purchases. To be fair, more than half of these 12 new customers are academic labs, a segment that management noted was difficult to access in 2025 due to NIH funding challenges. The company views increasing the number of users as key to driving greater awareness and capturing consumable volume and revenue.

Metric Value (as of late 2025) Reporting Period/Context
New Customers via Placement Program 12 Since launch, prior to Q3 2025 results
Academic Labs in Placement Program More than 50% of 12 Since launch, prior to Q3 2025 results
Q3 2025 Revenue $552,000 Quarter ended September 30, 2025
Nine Months 2025 Revenue $2.0 million Period ended September 30, 2025

Direct sales and technical support for the installed user base

The relationship with the installed user base is centered on driving recurring revenue through consumable sales, such as the version 4 Sequencing Kit launched in early September 2025. Consumable purchases in Q2 2025 were slightly ahead of expectations, showing engagement from existing customers across all market segments despite capital headwinds. The company's Q3 2025 revenue of $552,000 consisted of revenue from the Platinum line of instruments, consumable kits, and related services. The gross margin for Q3 2025 was 35%, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the gross margin was 52%. Quantum-Si incorporated is on track for a Q4 2025 launch of its version 3 Library Prep Kit.

The company is well-capitalized to support this base, reporting cash and marketable securities of $230.5 million as of September 30, 2025, which is anticipated to carry operations into the second quarter of 2028.

Investor and analyst communications for market transparency

Quantum-Si incorporated maintains active communication with the financial community to provide market transparency. The company reported its Q3 2025 financial results on a conference call held on November 5, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Management also highlighted an upcoming Investor and Analyst Day scheduled for November 19, 2025, for further updates on the Proteus platform and strategic roadmap. Earlier in the year, the company completed a registered direct offering in July 2025, raising gross proceeds of $50 million.

  • Investor and Analyst Day Date: November 19, 2025
  • Q3 2025 Earnings Call Date/Time: November 5, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. ET
  • Capital Raised in July 2025: $50 million
  • Cash and Marketable Securities (as of 9/30/2025): $230.5 million

Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) - Canvas Business Model: Channels

You're looking at how Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) gets its Platinum® instruments and consumables into the hands of researchers, especially as capital spending tightens. The focus is clearly shifting to make adoption easier, which is smart given the market headwinds.

Direct sales force targeting biopharma and government labs.

Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) uses a hybrid approach, relying on direct engagement for key segments while leaning on partners for broader reach. The North American channel is anchored by the distribution agreement with Avantor, which completed its training as of the first quarter of 2025. While the exact size of the internal direct sales force isn't specified, the focus on biopharma and government labs is evident in the market segment data. As of the first quarter of 2025, U.S. academic institutions represented roughly 20% of account placements. The company remains optimistic about the pharma and biotech markets, alongside international opportunities.

International distribution network covering over 23 countries.

Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) has aggressively built out its global footprint through channel partners. As of the first quarter of 2025, the international channel partner network stood at 23 partners, up from 15 partners announced in December 2024. This network spans several regions, including Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, South America, and the South Pacific regions. The installed base outside the United States accounted for about 60% of the total installed base as of the second quarter of 2025. This international focus is seen as a cushioning factor against challenges in the U.S. academic market.

Expanded instrument acquisition options to drive user adoption.

To counter the slowdown in capital purchases, particularly from U.S. academic labs due to NIH funding uncertainty, Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) launched an expanded set of instrument acquisition options during the second quarter of 2025. This strategic pivot converts a traditional capital expenditure (CapEx) into an operating expense (OpEx) model, allowing labs to deploy the Platinum® Pro instrument without upfront capital dollars. The goal is to grow the user base and secure recurring consumable revenue. Early results from this instrument placement program in the third quarter of 2025 have been promising, deploying technology to new academic customers who couldn't secure capital funding.

Here's a quick look at the channel strategy shift and financial context as of mid-2025:

Metric Value / Detail Period / Date
International Channel Partners 23 partners Q1 2025
U.S. Academic Account Placements Roughly 20% of installed base Q1 2025
Instrument Acquisition Strategy Launched expanded options (CapEx to OpEx conversion) Q2 2025
Q3 2025 Revenue $552,000 Q3 2025
H1 2025 Gross Margin 58% Six months ended June 30, 2025

Cloud-based Platinum Analysis Software for data processing.

Data processing is channeled through the Platinum® Analysis Software, which offers flexibility for local or cloud-based solutions. The software leverages a proprietary kinetic model and an AI-driven database containing nearly two million parameters. Recent upgrades have significantly improved the efficiency of this channel:

  • Achieved a 70% reduction in primary analysis time, moving from 85 minutes down to 25 minutes.
  • Delivered a 55% increase in the number of peptide alignments for protein samples.
  • Improved the precision of identifying unknown proteins by 9%.

The successful execution of the v4 Sequencing Kit launch, on track for Q3 2025, and the v3 Library Preparation Kit launch expected by the end of 2025, will feed more data into this analysis channel. Finance: review the Q4 2025 revenue forecast based on consumable sales projections by next Tuesday.

Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) - Canvas Business Model: Customer Segments

You're looking at the customer base for Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) as they push their single-molecule detection technology into the market. The total addressable market (TAM) they are targeting across drug development, basic research, and precision medicine is cited at a massive $75 billion. This scale suggests a broad need, but QSI's near-term focus is clearly segmented based on budget cycles and technology adoption readiness.

Biopharma and pharmaceutical R&D labs.

This segment is viewed by Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) management as a prime area for sustained growth, covering both initial instrument sales and the recurring revenue from consumable kits. These organizations typically have dedicated operating budgets less immediately impacted by the capital spending headwinds seen elsewhere. The focus here is on accelerating adoption within these labs to drive ongoing consumable volume and revenue.

Academic research institutions, especially outside the U.S.

U.S. academic labs experienced a near halt in capital purchases during the second quarter of 2025 due to uncertainty surrounding National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding. To counter this, Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) launched an instrument placement program to deploy technology to new academic customers who couldn't proceed with traditional capital sales. It is noted that more than half of the customers acquired through this specific placement initiative are in academic labs. While the data points to U.S. academic headwinds, the focus on international institutions, especially those with different funding structures, remains a key strategic area for accessing this segment.

Government and large-scale proteomics research centers.

This group includes major collaborative centers that drive high-impact publications. Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) has highlighted specific engagement with large-scale research organizations. For instance, the company has two active projects underway and another two in the final stages of study design with the Broad Institute. These partnerships are crucial for validating the technology at scale and generating the necessary data to drive broader awareness and adoption across the entire proteomics field.

Early-adopter research groups focused on proteomics and single-molecule defintely analysis.

These are the labs that are actively seeking to move beyond traditional, multistep workflows to access dynamic, functional protein insights with unparalleled resolution. They are the initial buyers who understand the value proposition of real-time kinetic-based detection. The instrument placement program, which deployed the sequencing technology to 12 new customers since its launch, specifically targeted groups ready to utilize the platform immediately, many of whom were academic. These early adopters are essential for driving the initial consumable purchases and providing the foundational use cases for the technology.

Here is a summary of the early traction seen through the instrument placement program as of the third quarter of 2025:

Metric Amount/Detail
Total New Customers via Placement Program 12 new customers
Initial Reagent Purchase Compliance All 12 made initial reagent purchases
Academic Customer Mix (Placement Program) More than half of the 12 new customers
Targeted Segment for Placement Program Academic customers previously unable to acquire platform

The company's strategy is clearly to use these placement options to build a user base and generate consumable revenue while the market for capital equipment sales, particularly in U.S. academia due to NIH funding uncertainty, remains slow.

Total Operating Expenses (GAAP) $96.0 $110.18 (TTM Sep '25)
Adjusted Total Operating Expenses $68.1 $72.3 (Nine Months Ended Sep 30, 2024)

The Sales, General, and Administrative (SG&A) costs, totaling $48.78 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reflect the push for commercial expansion. You're paying for the team, marketing efforts, and the infrastructure needed to support the instrument placement program, which is key to driving future consumable sales.

When you look at manufacturing and inventory costs for instruments and consumables, you see the early-stage economics. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Cost of Revenue was $1.54 million on revenue of $2.0 million, resulting in a gross margin of 52% for that period. For Q3 2025 specifically, the gross margin was lower at 35% on revenue of $552,000, suggesting a mix shift or initial production costs impacting the quarter.

The heavy investment phase is starkly visible in the bottom line. Quantum-Si incorporated reported a net loss of $35.7 million in Q3 2025, a significant increase from the $25.3 million net loss in Q3 2024. This quarter's loss was also elevated by a one-time charge of $15.4 million related to settling legacy litigation cases. For context, the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, reached $83.7 million.

You should note a few key elements driving these costs:

  • One-time charge for litigation settlement: $15.4 million in Q3 2025.
  • Lease termination charge: $13.6 million accounting charge in Q3 2025.
  • This termination is expected to avoid over $24 million of future operating expense.
  • Cash position as of September 30, 2025, was $230.5 million, anticipated to carry operations into Q2 2028.

Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI) - Canvas Business Model: Revenue Streams

You're looking at the engine that powers Quantum-Si incorporated (QSI), specifically how they are bringing in money as of late 2025. It's a mix of big upfront purchases and the steady drip of necessary supplies, which is typical for high-tech instrument companies.

The total revenue for the Trailing Twelve Months (TTM) ended September 30, 2025, was approximately $3.18 million. This figure reflects the company's progress through the initial stages of commercialization, which, as you know, can see revenue swings based on when large capital sales close.

Quantum-Si incorporated's revenue streams are clearly segmented into three main areas, though the precise TTM breakdown between capital and recurring is not fully public. We can look at a recent quarter to see the components at play. For instance, in the second quarter of 2025, the company reported total revenue of $591,000.

Here is a look at the components of revenue, using the Q2 2025 data to illustrate the mix:

Revenue Stream Component Q2 2025 Amount Context/Notes
Sale of Platinum and Platinum Pro instruments (capital sales) Implied within Product Revenue CEO noted a near halt in capital purchases due to NIH funding uncertainty in Q2 2025.
Recurring revenue from proprietary consumable kits and reagents Implied within Product Revenue Consumable purchases in Q2 2025 were slightly ahead of expectations.
Service and maintenance contracts for installed instruments $0.03 million Service revenues decreased 13.2% year over year in Q2 2025.
Total Product Revenues (Instruments + Consumables) $0.56 million Product revenues decreased 4.5% year over year in Q2 2025.

The focus for Quantum-Si incorporated is clearly on driving the recurring revenue stream, which comes from the proprietary consumable kits and reagents used with their instruments. The strategy involves increasing the number of installed systems, even through placement programs, to capture that future consumable volume and revenue.

You can see the quarterly progression leading up to the TTM figure:

  • Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was $842,000.
  • Revenue for the second quarter of 2025 was $591,000.
  • Revenue for the third quarter of 2025 was $552.0 thousand.
  • Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $2.0 million.

The company is actively working to overcome headwinds affecting capital sales, such as NIH funding uncertainty, by offering expanded instrument acquisition options. This approach is designed to build the installed base, which is the foundation for the higher-margin, recurring revenue from kits and reagents.
