Grab a cup of coffee and listen in as Robin Langtry, co-founder and CEO of Avalanche Energy, Prime Impact Fund‘s portfolio company, shares how the Avalanche team is unlocking the future of compact fusion energy on the latest episode of the CTC podcast with Matthew Myers.
What you’ll learn:
- Why Avalanche is based in Seattle and how proximity to top tech talent supports rapid iteration
- How its “test‑fail‑fix” approach enables the company to move fast and learn even faster
- How the team integrates learnings in diagnostics, high voltage, magnetic fields, and pulsed cathodes into their next-gen Orbitron machine
- Big plans for FusionWERX, a new facility in Richland, WA, supported by a $10M Green Jobs Grant from the Washington State Department of Commerce
- Long-term commercial vision: modular fusion power packs delivering energy in places where batteries and the grid fall short
- Avalanche’s roadmap toward sustained high-flux neutron output and, eventually, energy breakeven
It’s a must-listen for anyone following fusion, advanced energy, or climate innovation. Robin offers a rare, inside look at what it really takes to commercialize fusion.
