JC Btaiche

At 16, after relocating to Canada, he founded Hestia Academy—an educational platform that nurtured his innovative spirit. His entrepreneurial journey culminated in Silicon Valley, where at just 19 years old, he established Fuse Energy. Under his leadership, Fuse Energy has become synonymous with breakthrough fusion technology and pulsed power innovation.
‍
Fuse Energy’s flagship breakthrough is TITAN—the world’s first high-energy, high-power impedance‐matched Marx generator (IMG). TITAN is a critical advancement in pulsed power systems and Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF) technology, delivering unmatched efficiency and performance for both commercial fusion energy and nuclear effects testing.
‍
JC’s strategic vision has attracted robust financial backing, including over $20 million in initial funding and a $32 million Series A round in 2024, propelling the company’s valuation above $200 million. His commitment to forging key partnerships—such as the collaboration with Sandia National Laboratories—further strengthens Fuse Energy’s role as a transformative force in the fusion energy landscape.

Guided by an expert advisory board featuring leaders from the U.S. Department of Energy, Department of Defense, and other prominent organizations, JC Btaiche continues to drive Fuse Energy’s mission: to harness the power of advanced impedance‐matched Marx generator technology and revolutionary pulsed power systems in the pursuit of practical, sustainable fusion energy solutions.
