Nuclear startup also secured a $200 million credit facility led by Erebor and JPM.
Isaiah Taylor, founder and CEO of Valar Atomics, announced the company's $1 billion Series B equity round led by Sequoia Capital. Other participants include Valor Equity Partners, Atreides, Point72, Conviction, Riot, Snowpoint, Dream, Apandion, and HOF Capital. The round runs alongside a separate $200 million credit facility. Taylor said the capital will speed manufacturing of standardized nuclear plants for Gigasites that chain multiple small reactors. Shaun Maguire of Sequoia joins the board. The company states its goal is to make energy cheaper and more abundant through these deployments.

IT Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors@isaiah_p_taylorThe mission of Valar Atomics is to make energy in the universe cheaper and more abundant than ever before. We believe that the best way to make energy cheaper is to chain many small and safe nuclear reactors together on campuses, called Gigasites.

IT Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors@isaiah_p_taylorLast November, Valar Atomics became the first startup in history to achieve criticality. A month ago, we became the first startup to make nuclear power, using those first electrons to power an NVIDIA Blackwell. We now have the war chest we need to build the Gigasite.

IT Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors@isaiah_p_taylorValar Atomics values hardware iteration over everything. Since day zero, it’s been my strongest conviction that the winner in the next century of energy would be the team that was able to build fission at the greatest scale; not the one that could show the biggest backlog.
