So excited to congratulate Isaiah and the Valar Atomics team on their $19M seed raise! ⚛️🎉 We at GoAhead Ventures are thrilled to back this bold mission for nuclear innovation at planetary scale. Huge shout-out to the Valar team—can’t wait to see what’s next! 🚀
I'm excited to announce a $19m seed round led by Riot Ventures, Initialized, and AlleyCorp, with participation from amazing new parters such as Steel Atlas, Day One Ventures, Stifel Bank, Naval Ravikant, Balaji Srinivasan, and Charlie Songhurst. We've also completed two important milestones: First, we have completed the construction and pressure certification of our thermal prototype, Ward Zero, at our Los Angeles facility—the fastest in history a thermal test unit has been developed and built. Ward Zero will be unveiled next week at an exclusive event in LA. Second, we're so excited to announce a Coordinated Research Project with the Philippine Nuclear Research Institute. The goal of this project is to develop and deploy Ward One, our first nuclear reactor and the world's first operational Gen IV micro-reactor. This is just the beginning. The goal of Valar Atomics is to make the world's energy by building nuclear reactors at planetary scale. To do that, we must set a pace of building and iteration to rapidly scale and commercialize our reactor architecture. Today, we set that pace. I can't overstate my gratitude to the Valar Atomics team. In the last 12 months they've proven themselves to be not only one of the most talented engineering teams in the world, but also the most determined. I'm inspired to work with them every day and to bring their work to you!
