Companies that change the physical world require a lot higher specialist:founder ratio. There is enough capital and ambitious managerial types around, what we really have a shortage of is specialists in new technical areas.

How does a former software engineer get into nuclear tech? What specific skills and positions would be required?

Well, there are engineers needed to develop new CAD / sim software to better model liquid nuclear fuels. That basically would require you to have a very good understanding of software engineering + fluid mechanics, nuclear physics, thermodynamics and chemistry

Thank you. I'm part-time studying applied maths to be able to work on something like that one day.
