type-one-energy // Intelligence Entity

Summary

Stellarator fusion startup, spun out of University of Wisconsin-Madison. Co-founders: Chris Hegna (VP optimization, UW-Madison professor), David Anderson (HSX stellarator director emeritus). CEO: Christofer Mowry. Technology: highly optimized stellarator with HTS magnets. Secured HTS magnet rights from CFS (MIT cable technology). Uses exascale supercomputers (Frontier at ORNL). $82.4M seed (July 2024), preparing $200M+ Series A (March 2025). Investors: Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Foxglove, GD1, Centaurus Capital. Building Infinity One at retired TVA coal plant (~$220M investment). Infinity Two: baseline physics design. 6 peer-reviewed papers in Journal of Plasma Physics (March 2025) — 'no showstoppers.' DOE Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program recipient. Target: pilot plant by 2030.
