Raised $29M (Feb 2026). $5.2M DARPA contract (Apr 2026). Pursuing desk-sized fusion reactors at 300kV plasma. Defense dual-use.
Avalanche Energy is a compact fusion company pursuing a fundamentally different approach from utility-scale fusion projects like ITER: desk-sized reactors that generate power at the point of need. The company raised $29 million in February 2026 led by RA Capital, and secured a $5.2 million DARPA contract in April 2026 to develop radioisotope power technology — validating both the commercial and defense-use cases for its platform.
Grid capacity mapping platform for solar and storage developers pre-computing interconnection availability; $66M raised serving AES and Invenergy with 500+ GW analyzed across MISO, ERCOT, PJM markets.
Nira Energy is a Denver-based renewable energy software company providing grid capacity mapping and interconnection analysis tools that help solar, battery storage, and data center developers identify optimal project sites based on available grid capacity — reducing the years-long interconnection study process to minutes by pre-computing capacity availability across major US electricity markets. Backed by Y Combinator with $66 million raised, Nira generated $3.6 million in revenue in 2024, serving 100+ leading energy developers including AES, Invenergy, and Scout Energy with 500+ gigawatts of interconnection studies processed.
