Jordan Bramble

Jordan Bramble is the co-founder and CEO of Antares Nuclear (Antares Industries), a Torrance, California company building factory-produced, transportable fission microreactors of up to 1 MW for defense, remote industrial, and space applications. A systems engineer and physicist who did a stint in federal policy at the White House Office of Management and Budget, Bramble started Antares in 2023 on a contrarian bet: instead of chasing the commercial grid on price, sell nuclear's unique capability to customers who need power where the grid and diesel can't reach. Under his leadership Antares raised more than $130 million, built out a 145,000-square-foot factory, and in June 2026 became the first private company to bring an advanced reactor - its Mark-0 - to criticality under the U.S. Department of Energy's Reactor Pilot Program. His stated ambition is to make energy abundant 'from Earth to the Asteroid Belt.'

William Feeley

William C. Feeley is the founder and managing officer of Barometer Trading, LLC, an equity long/short fund built on a single obsession: not losing money. A 44-year capital markets veteran who helped corporate issuers raise tens of billions through IPOs and secondary offerings at firms like Bankers Trust, Kemper Securities and Wit SoundView, Feeley later ran the experiment most of Wall Street would never try - he hired and trained formerly incarcerated, prison-educated people as analysts and traders, and the desk beat its hedge-fund benchmark by more than 18% per year for 39 months. A Georgetown BSBA with a Loyola Chicago MBA and a CAIA charter, he is part trader, part operator, part believer in second chances.
