TechFlow News, June 4: According to The Information, Helion—a nuclear fusion startup backed by OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman—has raised $465 million in funding, led by Thrive Capital. Following this round, Helion’s valuation has reached $15.5 billion—nearly triple its previous valuation of $543 million.
