Building at the frontier of embodied intelligence. We’re currently in stealth and working with select partners as we prepare for public launch. If you’re excited about hard problems, first-principles thinking, and building category-defining systems, we’d love to hear from you.

Health is your greatest Superpower. Its time to unlock it.

Realta Fusion spun out of a groundbreaking physics experiment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2022 and is developing the lowest capital and least complex path to commercially competitive fusion energy. We are applying advances in super-conducting materials, plasma physics, and computing power to a simple linear fusion reactor configuration. These advances allow for a much lower capex power plant, utilizing abundant fuel sources to provide a new, zero-carbon source of heat and power.

Hermeus is a high-speed aircraft manufacturer focused on the rapid design, build, and test of high-Mach and hypersonic aircraft for the national interest. Working directly with the Department of Defense, Hermeus delivers capabilities that will ensure that our nation, and our allies, maintain an asymmetric advantage over any and all potential adversaries. Utilizing an integrated, hardware-rich, iterative development approach to aircraft design and build, Hermeus aims to deliver advanced air power at a pace not seen in the U.S. since the 1950s. Hermeus’ current Quarterhorse Program is actively unlocking unmanned high-speed flight. One program, four aircraft – each purpose-built to unlock a specific technical challenge, advance learnings, and incrementally de-risk critical technology in the pursuit of hypersonic aircraft. America needs fast planes fast – and Hermeus is delivering them.
