esoteriq describes its mission as finding real-world problems worth moving onto quantum computers, doing the research and development, and turning the results into commercial advantage for partners and customers. Its website says the company is currently focused on finance and fintech and is looking to work with superconducting and trapped-ion hardware makers.
Its flagship effort, Rune, is software meant to find where quantum delivers real commercial advantage. According to Teknovation, Rune estimates the cost of encoding real-world data for a quantum computer and shows whether a dataset is viable for quantum execution. In November 2026 esoteriq joined the first cohort of CO.LAB Q, a 12-month quantum commercialization studio in Chattanooga, where it plans to test workload feasibility on quantum hardware with representative customer data and secure a design partner.
The team page lists Carlos Andrés Rodriguez as founder and CEO and Kadeem Baldwin as founding engineer.
