Company
Overview
$900M
Series A Investment
The company secured over $900 million in Series A funding led by top-tier investors.
135k ft²
Facility Size
Construction is underway in a 135,000-square-foot facility in San Leandro.
150 Modules
Fusion Target
They aim to use 150 modular units to achieve net facility gain by 2030.
- Led by founders from NASA, DOE labs, and genomics—Eric Lander (co‑founder/CEO) and Keith LeChien (CTO) steer the technical vision.
- They’re pioneering pulsed magnetic inertial fusion: stacking modular ‘bricks’ in Marx generators to drive fuel capsules to fusion.
- Built in a 135k ft² San Leandro facility, the team of ~60 engineers and scientists is constructing full-scale pulser modules.
- Collaborations with General Atomics and US national labs accelerate scaling and prototype testing.
- Their demonstration system in Livermore targets research-grade operations ahead of commercial rollouts.
- By focusing on mass‑manufacturable modules and affordable supply chains, they aim to bring fusion to market within a decade.
- Talented, humble builders
- United by a shared sense of urgency — to meet rapidly growing global energy demand while addressing climate change
- Shared sense of responsibility — to each other, to our investors, to our country, and to our planet
- Committed to collaborating with the broader scientific community… regularly share and publish our research… committed to partnering with communities, regulators, policymakers, suppliers, industry peers, and customers
$900M+ Funded
Series A Financing
Raised $900 million in Series A funding tied to technical milestones for advancing clean energy solutions.
>100 MJ Output
Fusion Energy Yield
Collaborating with partners to achieve high-yield fusion energy output in inherently safe, carbon-free systems.
2030 Target
Net Facility Gain
Technology aims to achieve net facility gain by 2030, producing more fusion energy output than stored energy input.
- Mission: power the world with abundant, affordable, clean energy
- Building pulsed magnetic inertial fusion system using widely available materials and mass‑manufacturable modular units ('bricks' and 'modules') to support scalable clean power
- Collaborating with National Lab partners (General Atomics, LLNL) to drive advances toward high‑yield fusion in inherently safe, carbon‑free systems
- No publicly available DEI strategy or gender-related statistics found on website or LinkedIn profiles
