PINC Technologies

PINC Technologies is a Pasadena-based Caltech spinout founded in 2023 that develops scalable nonlinear photonic integrated circuits for quantum computing applications. The company emerged from stealth in October 2025 with $6.8 million in seed funding led by BootstrapLabs, with participation from Catalus Capital and Convergent Ventures, to unlock scalable nonlinearity for photonic chips through their proprietary NanoPPLN platform. PINC’s technology brings high-performance nonlinear optics to integrated photonic circuits, enabling applications in quantum computing, optical sensing, artificial intelligence, data networks, biomedical devices, atomic clocks, lidar, and metrology. The company’s NanoPPLN platform addresses the missing scalable nonlinearity in photonic integrated circuits, making nonlinear optics fully integrated and scalable for next-generation quantum and photonic systems, contributing to advances in quantum photonics and enabling new capabilities across multiple technological domains requiring integrated nonlinear optical components. The seed funding will be used to scale production of their NanoPPLN chips and expand commercial partnerships in quantum computing and photonic systems industries.

2025 Developments: The company continues to advance its quantum hardware capabilities throughout 2025. Ongoing research and development efforts focus on improving qubit performance and scalability. The organization maintains active collaboration with research institutions and industry partners.
