Antares

We are excited to announce our $30M Series A fundraise, led by Alt Capital and Caffeinated Capital, to accelerate the demonstration of our first microreactor. Since raising our seed round a year ago, we’ve finalized our core design, demonstrated our first heat pipe, machined graphite for our core, kicked off power conversion and control systems designs, joined INL’s front end engineering and experiment design (FEEED) program, and won $4.3M in DOD and DOE funding. We plan to use this round of capital to expand our R&D and manufacturing capabilities and complete our first electrically-heated demonstration unit, scheduled for completion in early 2025. Thanks to our new and existing investors for their support, including Shine Capital, BoxGroup, Alice Lloyd George, Shrug Capital, Uncommon Capital, Banter Capital, as well as national laboratory partners including Idaho National Laboratory, Savannah River National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and Sandia National Laboratories. We’re also delighted to welcome Jack Altman to the Antares board. You can read more about the latest at Antares and check out open roles at Antares at our website.

We're thrilled to partner with Idaho National Laboratory and the National Reactor Innovation Center | NRIC front-end engineering and experiment design (FEEED) program as we prepare to build and test our first reactor.

We are excited to announce we've received a GAINnuclear voucher from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to accelerate work on our core design! The Gateway for Accelerated Innovation in Nuclear (GAIN) program is one of the DOE's many impactful programs to support advanced nuclear development in collaboration with U.S. national labs.

Welcome to the team Joe Pointer!

Thrilled to announce that Antares has been awarded $3.75M by the U.S. Air Force to accelerate the development of our microreactor. Advancing nuclear power in new form factors to enable critical infrastructure resilience and meet national security priorities across terrestrial, space and underwater applications is extremely important for the future and we are proud to partner with the Department of Defense on this initiative. https://lnkd.in/gFqc-2pj

Great to be in DC this week for the annual AFA Air Space Cyber conference! Look forward to hearing from Air Force leadership and catching up with our Air Force and Space Force partners. Drop us a line if you're attending and want to connect!

Antares is thrilled to announce its partnership with Savannah River National Laboratory to accelerate the fielding of microreactors. https://lnkd.in/etazc4xU

Antares Co-Founders Jordan Bramble and Julia DeWahl hit Capitol Hill last week for an insightful few days that reinforced the strong alignment between Congress and the nuclear industry on accelerating the development and fielding of microreactors to strengthen critical operational energy resilience for U.S. forces and capabilities at home and overseas. Rounding out the team was Antares' new Director of Licensing and Engagement, Matt Griffin, who brings a wealth of experience from across the National Labs to the Antares Team! 

Thanks to UCAN Power - United Coalition for Advanced Nuclear Power for gathering an incredible group of speakers and attendees for their 2nd Annual Nuclear Energy Security Summit. We were proud to sponsor the conference and participate in these critical discussions on the future of nuclear energy.
