My view is that smart angel investors are looking for things they understand and can calculate the risk/reward ratio for.
They don’t know much about fusion and what they do know suggests that the risk is great and the reward is distant
and small compared to other things they can invest in. If fusion power turns out to be cheap then investors will
make side bets in the parts of the economy that will be affected.
Big energy users have the most to gain if fusion is successful. Companies that run big computer server farms would
seem to be likely investors. Steel, aluminum and cement manufacturers along with nitrogen fertilizer makers etc.
should be interested.
I doubt that any of those companies would make a large contribution by themselves. They may be willing to
make donations through their trade associations. The individual amounts may be modest but the total could be substantial.
