Boulder , Colorado startup Mesa Quantum has raised $3.7 million in seed funding on top of a $1.9 million Space Force grant.

The startup's quantum sensors could bring navigation, timing and positioning data to electronic devices of every kind, alleviating their need to pick up distant GPS satellite signals.

Mesa Quantum is building "chip-scale atomic clocks" and other miniaturized quantum sensors, which can measure and detect changes in the environment around a device.
