Gong hit for Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors and the Valar Atomics team for becoming the first nuclear startup to ever make electricity. They did it with their Ward 250 reactor, which powered a Nvidia Spark at their San Rafeal, Utah, site yesterday.

"We sell energy, not nuclear reactors." - Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors, founder of Valar Atomics "The best way to use a Falcon 9 at SpaceX is to own the entire operational cadence. You sell products like kgs to orbit and Internet connectivity." "Nuclear reactors are like this as well. You build reactors on large energy campuses, then sell energy to AI data centers which need hydrogen and synthetic fuels." "If we can make a synthetic fuel that's cheaper than diesel or gasoline, we can become the energy company of the world."

Isaiah Taylor was the first founder where my wife looked at the number and said, "We should up it." I knew almost nothing about nuclear. Then we watched Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors on Shawn Ryan Show. Built to run through a brick wall. Raised poor. Grounded in faith and family. Our backgrounds are very similar; very relatable. A month later I backed Valar Atomics. A few months after that, I met him in person. Watch the clip. This is what I mean by founders first, terms second.

Why do must nuclear energy startups fail? "I think it's actually been a mindset problem," says Valar Atomics founder Isaiah Taylor (Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors). "I was totally shocked to find that no nuclear startup had ever built a reactor and turned it on." Catch the fully kinetic convo on The Upstarts Podcast: YouTube: Apple: Spotify:

Valar Atomics Founder Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors says nuclear has a fundamental advantage over natural gas for powering AI data centers because it can scale faster and isn't constrained by pipeline infrastructure. "We believe that nuclear has some fundamental scaling advantages over something like gas. The climate impact is a big part." "The other problem with gas generation is it has really backed up turbines, and it also has natural gas infrastructure that has to scale along with it. We're running out of places where you can just plop down a turbine without having to go and lay pipeline." "With uranium, you have one truckload that delivers an entire year's worth of fuel. That gives you a lot more flexibility on where you build the reactors and how big you can scale those sites. Nuclear has this fundamental advantage."

On episode 74 of S3, we visit Valar Atomics, the first startup in history to generate nuclear power, all while beating the July 4th deadline. In just 3 years, Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors went from pitching the idea on an Apple note to the reactor generating electricity, and now NVIDIA is betting on that same reactor to power its next AI data center.

.Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors on what cheap nuclear energy actually means: "A lot of our food cost comes from the cost of synthetic nitrogen, which is essentially the cost of energy, because we use natural gas in the Haber-Bosch process to make nitrogen for our crops. And we were thinking about manufacturing and we were thinking about chemical production and what are the materials in the world going to look like when we can produce them at a fifth of the cost of today?" — Isaiah Taylor, Founder & CEO of Valar Atomics, on the Madison Malone podcast
