Their "goal" is an order of magnitude improvement on existing stellarators, that sounds to me like it will want billions rather than millions. It's also doesn't seem to meet the "triple product Lawson criterion" for useful fusion (achieved recently at NIF, expected for ITER). This is cool, but I'm always skeptical of the viability of fusion startups. I won't name names, but there's already a couple out there that seem to me to be vapourware but are dragging in big funding based on the dream of fusion.
