Relatively tiny budget is not a sign of weakness. The history is teemed with well-founded ventures beaten by much less funded ones.

Well I sure hope that ends up being the case, but unfortunately history is also teeming with startups promising the world, getting funding and then collapsing while getting nothing done.

ITER is commonly cited as the most expensive science project of all time. I just don't believe a start up is on the forefront of research that even everyone involved with ITER is behind.

ITER is committed to a certain large scale design.

Helion is trying to do something very different and much smaller.
