INL here we come! It has been a privilege to watch and learn from the Radiant team these past three years. They're one of the highest performing teams I've ever had the pleasure of seeing up close. This is only the beginning.

Due to size, standardization, replicable manufacturing processes, and modular assembly, SMRs and other advanced nuclear technologies are well suited to meet many clean power needs. Check out this whitepaper by the World Economic Forum on the opportunity to deploy these technologies at scale

I have been working with Radiant for years & getting to lead this round from DCVC is a real honor. They have done so much so quickly, and now have the capital to take the next step--a full demo plant! Clean, reliable power for communities that need it most, here we come.

DCVC Partner Rachel Slaybaugh in Axios today re climate tech + energy policy: "People are so focused right now on what might change, they're not looking at what's the same: good investments are still good investments." Great interview, Alan Neuhauser! bit.ly/4fVgUdv

It was great to have a chance to talk with Ignition News about nuclear energy. I've had a long, weird career and it all came up in this interview. And it's always great to get to talk about companies I love like Radiant and Zap Energy. ignition-news.com/a-qa-with-dcvc…

Kaleidos is a 1MW gas cooled portable microreactor Radiant will mass produce. There are nearly 10 tons of graphite in a hefty stainless steel pressure vessel. Is it hard to build these quickly? No. See for yourself in a timelapse of our full scale passive cooling demo unit!

In likely the largest deal ever for a seed-stage biotech/techbio company, DCVC-backed Relation and GSK will seek to create a new gen of drugs for fibrotic disease and osteoarthritis. Big congrats to both companies! More from DCVC GP Jason Pontin 👇 bit.ly/3ZunHo3

Alta Resource Technologies is such an exciting company. Their technology is so desperately needed: making the critical mineral supply chain more sustainable and one we can take more control of.

So excited to share the news that Radiant has raised a Series C that sets them up to test their full-size reactor, get their factory underway, and be positioned to deploy many microreactors *this decade*. DCVC is proud to have led this round with a great syndicate.

ICYMI, this great story about Radiant by Heatmap News came out last week: lnkd.in/geqrTM2m It's a quick read about what Radiant is up to and why it's appealing.
