About
UbiQD is a quantum dot manufacturer, headquartered in Los Alamos, New Mexico, and founded in 2014 by Hunter McDaniel. The company licenses technology developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory and MIT, producing quantum dots through an inexpensive process based on low-cost, nontoxic elements. Its work supports product innovation in agriculture, clean energy, and security, including UbiGro greenhouse technology, which uses fluorescence to create an optimal light spectrum for crops. In April 2025, UbiQD closed a $20 million Series B financing round led by Phoenix Venture Partners. The company also established an exclusive, multi-year agreement to supply its proprietary fluorescent quantum dot technology to First Solar for use in thin film bifacial photovoltaic solar panels, extending quantum dot applications into renewable energy.
