2 years ago, I met @Shauryapranos and @roshgor over idlis at Airlines. They were planning to build a fusion energy company in India. There was no ecosystem for it, no playbook, no capital.
Most people I mentioned it to thought I'd lost the plot. No investment committee would have approved a pre-seed cheque into an Indian nuclear fusion startup in 2024. It would've been laughed out of the room.
What I saw, however, was two people who understood fusion physics and engineering at a level that made me feel like a student again.
Two athletes who had decided that this was the Marathon of their life.
@industrial47 wrote the first cheque.
Today, they are a team of 8 PhDs with an integrated fusion development stack, a Tokomak reactor about to hit first plasma and have just raised a $6.8Mn round.
Congratulations Roshan, Shaurya and team @PranosFusion!
The hard part is ahead, but I wouldn't bet against you two.
Welcome to the grand run - @piventures, @ankurcapital, @lkeshre, @MarsShotVC, @shashank_kr, @harshilmathur, @shashankmehta05 and @npbhukhanwala.
