Bluecore Energy, a maritime nuclear‑energy startup founded by former Uber Freight employee Kofi Asante, announced a $10 million pre‑seed round led by Slauson & Co. The company plans to build small modular reactors on floating barges to supply clean power to ports and nearby infrastructure.

The funding will support the development of this portable nuclear power platform.
