Earth VC has fueled Aalo Atomics' $27M Series A
This round led by 50Y and Valor Equity Partners, alongside top-tier investors like Harpoon Ventures, Alumni Ventures, and Preston-Werner Ventures.
Why We Invest: Sparking a New Atomic Age
Aalo Atomics is leading the charge in the nuclear revival, crafting small reactors in gigafactories to deliver scalable, cost-effective clean energy. This vision fits seamlessly with Earth VC’s mission to champion innovations that ensure a sustainable future. With AI and data centers demanding more power and climate change concerns soaring, nuclear energy is coming back. Backed by big names like Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, Aalo Atomics' micro-reactors, using sodium coolant paired with uranium zirconium hydride fuel, promise safer, more efficient energy.
Aalo Atomics' Breakneck Progress
In just over a year, Aalo Atomics skyrocketed from a $6.26M seed to a $27M Series A, building a world-class team and completing the conceptual design of its Aalo-1 reactor. With key agreements like a siting MOU with the DOE and plans to deploy reactors at Idaho National Laboratory, they’re rapidly advancing toward their goal.
“We’re on a mission to make small nuclear reactors in gigafactories,” says Matt Loszak, Aalo Atomics CEO. “Our aim is predictable low costs and swift construction, making clean energy a reality anywhere, anytime.”
Nuclear Power and Earth VC’s Vision
For Earth VC, this is more than an investment—it’s a strategic bet on nuclear power as a cornerstone of the global energy solution. “The path to net zero is impossible without nuclear,” says Tien Nguyen, Founding Partner at Earth VC. “Aalo Atomics is setting new standards for safety and scalability with its modular reactors and advanced coolant systems.”
What’s Next for Aalo Atomics
With Series A funding, Aalo Atomics will scale its team, establish a new Factory HQ in Austin, and work on a non-nuclear prototype to validate their tech, paving the way for Aalo Fuel’s market debut.
Earth VC’s investment underscores our commitment to pioneering solutions that sustainably power the future. As Aalo Atomics grows, Earth VC will play a key role in driving its expansion across Asia and beyond.
