Background
Kembara co-led the £40m Series C for Quantum Motion alongside DCVC in May 2026, with the British Business Bank's British Growth Partnership Fund also participating. Quantum Motion is building silicon-spin qubit chips at the Oxford and UCL spin-out's fabrication facilities, and is a Stage B participant in DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative.
Kembara has a limited public profile. It does not appear to maintain a public website or standard VC disclosure filings as of May 2026. It is identified in deal announcements as a co-lead venture investor. The name itself is not associated with a well-known established institution in public databases, suggesting it may be a family office vehicle, a recently formed fund, or a private investment company operating without a public presence.
Given the limited available information, no claims can be made about Kembara's founding, total assets, or portfolio beyond the Quantum Motion co-lead. Future enrichment should be triggered if public registration documents or LP disclosures become available.
