Aalo Atomics is developing modular nuclear power plants designed for factory production.

They seek to make nuclear energy scalable enough to support AI infrastructure, industrial heat, desalination, and synthetic fuels.

Matt Loszak, founder and CEO of Aalo Atomics, discusses how his team is moving from software to nuclear, scaling from 2 to 165 employees in three years, raising $300M+, and pursuing a vision of abundant energy for AI, industry, and beyond.

Prior to returning to his nuclear engineering roots, he founded Humi, a payroll and HR software company that grew to process roughly $10 billion in payroll.

Here's what we discussed:

• Project to product – Why nuclear's biggest opportunity may be moving from custom megaprojects to mass-manufactured energy systems.

• Designing around logistics – The team constrained reactor size to what can be shipped on a truck, enabling factory production and modular deployment.

• Speed as a competitive advantage – Going from company formation to first reactor in under three years while scaling to 165 employees.

• The economics of abundance – Why sub-10¢/kWh is a critical milestone and how 3¢/kWh could fundamentally reshape global industry.

• Building the nuclear talent stack – Recruiting leaders from SpaceX, Tesla, Bloom Energy, and advanced reactor programs to accelerate execution.
