    2 weeks ago | thecurrency.news | Tom Lyons

    There’s a practiced ease between Noel Ruane and Trevor Parsons — the product of a long-standing partnership built on trust and a shared experience, an experience of being both an entrepreneur and also an innovator. You can feel it, practically see it, as soon as you meet them. As we ascend the stairs to Bronto, their new start-up headquartered on Dublin’s Baggot Street, their enthusiasm is unmistakable.

  • Future Ventures leads $36m funding round for Irish-led fusion start-up - The Currency

    3 weeks ago | thecurrency.news | Tom Lyons

    It was a warm introduction from existing investor Khosla Ventures, a venture firm set up by Vinod Khosla, the billionaire founding chief executive of Sun Microsystems, that led to the Wexford-born chief executive of Realta Fusion talking to Future Ventures. Kieran Furlong was raising a series A round for Realta Fusion, an energy start-up exploring nuclear fusion, and Steve Jurvetson, the billionaire co-founder of Future Ventures, was interested in finding out more.
