About

Malcolm Handley runs Strong Atomics, an investment firm focused on nuclear fusion startups aimed at delivering clean, cheap, abundant and safe energy. The firm invests across a portfolio of fusion approaches selected for their potential to reach net-positive energy and lead to plausible reactors. Its investment thesis holds that new private-funded approaches to fusion can reach the grid soon enough to matter for climate change, and that the world needs some form of nuclear power alongside renewables. The portfolio spans companies pursuing laser fusion, tokamaks, Z-pinch, and magneto-inertial approaches.
