JC Btaiche
JC is the Founder and CEO of Fuse. The company’s mission is to accelerate the world’s transition to fusion energy while safeguarding humankind. Fuse builds pulsed-power generators that enable radiation effects testing today and are the building block for fusion energy.
Fuse serves commercial and defense customers and partners with Los Alamos, Sandia National Laboratories, and the Nevada National Security Sites. Fuse is known for TITAN and FAETON, first-of-a-kind fusion generators whose experimental results were peer-reviewed in Nature Scientific Reports.
JC skipped university to build Fuse. The company has raised more than $100 million.
He flies small planes, climbs mountains, and makes Tea.
