In addition to environmental graphics and visual design, we designed and developed the website that the Ward250 reactor powered live during the livestream. Because the reactor is now offline, the website is down, but when the @valaratomics team brings it back online, you can check it out at

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.

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.

Last May, Valar Atomics promised to build a nuclear reactor and bring it online by July 4, 2026. Yesterday, their reactor went online in Utah — three days before the deadline set by Trump’s executive order to accelerate advanced nuclear testing outside the national labs. The EO’s target was criticality. Founder Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors says they went further: “We didn’t just go critical. We went critical twice.” “And we went to thermal power operations and we went to electricity production.” "We really just hit it out of the park in every dimension." Valar also just announced a partnership with Nvidia to explore nuclear-powered data centers.

Hey again everyone! As some of you may know, we have been itching to post a lot of the amazing art that the Marathon team has been working on. We thought about what would be the best way to distribute it, and we landed on creating an archive site dedicated to hosting all of the amazing pieces of artwork that are in the games files, and we're happy to announce that it is updated with everything we could gather from this weekend's test. Go check it out at

.Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors says Valar Atomics ultimately wants to use its own low-cost electricity to make steel, aluminum, and other products. "Our long-term vision is to actually have the cheapest energy on earth and to use it for our own things." "We see a vision of the world where steel is just way cheaper than it is today. Aluminum is way cheaper than it is today. The manipulation of matter is a lot cheaper because you have robotics hooked up to AI that's doing matter manipulation and vision. All these things take energy." "It'll be interesting to see where we decide to play in the stack. I think we want to be in the business of turning on thousands of reactors, but there will be a couple of massive markets that we attach to."

When you finally understand the truth and what we’re dealing with now, you see that we have slowly been infiltrated over the years and the enemy has been within. If we hope to survive as the nation we love, we can’t turn a blind eye. We can’t look away. We have to act.

.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

1 week ago, GalaxEye's Mission Drishti reached orbit, and we're proud to have played a small part in their journey through Rainmatter. When we first met them a few years ago, we were floored by their audacious goal. They were building the world’s first commercial OptoSAR satellite— it would combine optical imaging and radar sensors into a single payload that could see through clouds and operate day or night, no matter the weather conditions. It had never been done before. Their journey from IIT Madras to the SpaceX launch on 3 May hasn't been easy. It took 4 years and countless obstacles along the way. It is rocket science after all! 😆 And building something as groundbreaking as Mission Drishti requires a team of founders with incredible grit and belief. This short clip captures the dream, the nerves, and the launch. Huge congratulations to Suyash Singh and the entire team at GalaxEye. We need more Indian startups to build for the world like this. Happy to have backed them in a small way through Rainmatter by Zerodha.

💙 what would you like to be doing 12 years from now? 🐹 the members and I talk about this often. we’d like to be on stage until we can’t move. we’ll each have our life, but we’ll also go on stage together. and if we have our own family, we could bring them and do the performance together. we’re talking about 10,20,30 years from now. I agree with that. I want to be on stage when I’m 50. I’ve imagined a lot of that.
