London Quantum Group - Cohort I Founder Spotlight

Who is Sebastian?

Sebastian Kot is a Biomedical Engineering student at City St George's, University of London — and at just 20 years old, he is already one of the most technically accomplished founders in the cohort.

He's the founder of London Quantum Group, a commercial research lab working at the intersection of quantum computing, AI, and healthcare infrastructure. He's won the Quantinuum Year of Quantum Hackathon, the Slaughter and May Innovation Competition, and the NHS Hackathon. He was selected as a Top 100 Research Fellow by Bridgewater Associates. He's published academic papers, solved the first ever three-variable satellite optimisation problem run on a quantum computer, and holds patent-pending GPU technology.

Why is Sebastian building it?

Clinical research saves lives. But access to it is concentrated in large hospitals and a handful of major providers. Most patients — especially those registered with smaller GP practices — never see a trial that could help them, simply because their practice doesn't have the infrastructure to connect them to one.

That's the structural gap London Quantum Group is built to close.

What did Sebastian build?

London Quantum Group is a healthcare data infrastructure platform that connects GP practices to active clinical trials — without those practices ever having to share patient data.

Using fully homomorphic encryption, London Quantum Group identifies eligible patients within a practice's existing records, lets the GP review and approve every outreach, and then connects approved patients to trusted research networks. No data leaves the system. No new workflows. No governance risk.

The privacy guarantee isn't a promise — it's structural. Even London Quantum Group cannot see the data.

Where is Sebastian taking it?

On the day at Revolut HQ, Sebastian was one of the most articulate founders in the room. He knew his technology, his market, and his numbers cold. The panel took notice.

He has already raised money and is currently closing out his pre-seed round. At 20 years old, Sebastian is finishing his studies, building a deep-tech company, and doing both at a level most founders twice his age haven't reached.
