UPower Technologies Inc.
"The UPower founders, Jake DeWitte and Caroline Cochran, were recent graduates from MIT's Nuclear Science and Engineering Department. They chose to attend Palo Alto-based Y Combinator's accelerator program to focus on building a ""mini"" nuclear reactor that would produce up to ten MW of power and could fit in two 40-foot intermodal shipping containers.
The UPower reactor was designed to serve the need for ""off-grid"" electric power. These off-grid customers were in remote locations such as mining operations, military bases, Arctic townships or even island nations. While DeWitte and Cochran were ecstatic about the progress they had made and the enthusiastic open-mindedness of Bay Area investors to backing groundbreaking and even potentially contentious ""big ideas,"" they wondered if their investors would have the patience to finance UPower over the long term."
