Daniel Volz is a deep-tech founder and PhD chemist with 11 years of experience building and commercializing advanced materials and quantum computing ventures. He co-founded and led Kipu Quantum to bridge hardware and application-specific algorithms for industrial quantum use cases after building McKinsey’s quantum practice and strategizing quantum pilots at BASF. Earlier he scaled R&D into product and operations at CYNORA, helping bring low-power TADF OLED materials toward commercialization and leading a 20+ team and lab build-out. Comfortable at the intersection of science, strategy and startups, Daniel combines hands-on lab and product experience with corporate development and go-to-market know-how. He began his career translating complex science for broad audiences as a freelance science journalist, a background that sharpens his ability to communicate technical roadmaps to nontechnical stakeholders. Based in the Rhein-Neckar region, he now runs a stealth deep-tech venture while advising early-stage teams on fundraising and GTM.
