Sven Zagała is a serial entrepreneur, business developer, and angel investor based in Poland, with a long-standing track record of building and scaling technology ventures. Over the past three decades, he has consistently worked at the leading edge of innovation — from early Web0 in the 1990s and Europe’s first mobile networks to distributed high-frequency trading, Web3, and now, post-quantum cryptography.
He is a Partner at Invento.VC, a Warsaw-based early-stage seed fund with 38 portfolio startups, and actively mentors projects in ICT, DeepTech, blockchain, and AI.
As Managing Director at ResQuant, Sven leads efforts to implement post-quantum cryptography (PQC) in hardware — developing secure, European-made System-on-Chip (SoC) solutions for the rapidly growing Internet of Things and edge computing sectors. ResQuant’s chips are aligned with NIST PQC standards, addressing global mandates to upgrade internet encryption by 2030 in response to emerging quantum threats.
ResQuant’s mission is to secure devices across personal use, industry, and critical infrastructure — ensuring safe data communication from edge environments to central systems in a future-ready, quantum-secure world.
