Multiple fusion startups have now raised over $100 million each, with Commonwealth Fusion Systems leading at ~$3 billion. Key drivers—AI, superconducting magnets, and computing power—have enabled rapid iteration across competing technical approaches (tokamak, field-reversed, inertial, magnetized target). Companies targeting commercial timelines include Helion (2028, Microsoft customer), CFS (2026-27 Sparc with Google partnership), and others pursuing varied fusion strategies.
