About
Malcolm Handley worked as a software engineer at Google for four years and was the first employee at Asana before shifting his focus to climate change. Concluding that nuclear fusion held significant promise but was underfunded, he founded Strong Atomics in 2017 to invest in fusion companies pursuing commercially competitive reactors. He also served roughly a year (around 2021) as the tech-to-market advisor for fusion at ARPA-E before returning to private fusion investing.
