The Birth of Nuclear Fusion Network

In October of 2022, Jessica of Remodeled Love posts a mockup of an idea she had for an app that would help folks find, build, & sustain chosen family & the proverbial village many of us are seeking and desperately need.

The post gets a lot of traction and everyone says, “You must follow through with this,” but Jessica wonders if she’s capable of something this big.

In December of 2022 Holly Marr sends an email asking if she could use a virtual assistant and Jessica hires her on the spot.

In June of 2023 they launch a Kickstarter to fund Phases 1 & 2 of @nuclearfusionapp project, & the project funds in less than 60 days.

In August of 2023 Jessica puts out a call for a software dev consultant to help vet an app-building company she had hired. Something felt off to her. She interviews several folks but ultimately falls in creative love with Rishi Tirumalai, who thoroughly vets the company and returns to Jes with one consolation: “You should build your own team.”

In September of 2023 Jessica professionally reunites with her best friend and former business partner Chris Daniels after a deep rupture & downfall of another shared project in 2017. Chris comes on as COO, mostly volunteering their time.

The team then puts out a call for UI/UX designers, and Pia Malika slides into their DMs a month later.

Pia takes the team for the next 8 months through Phase 2 of the beta build.

The team is made up of entirely queer, neurodivergent social & digital engineers, determined to create a new world & a new business model. The chemistry between them is 🔥.

Beta Phase 2 comes to an end in May 2024 as the Kickstarter money fades, & the team pivots to Alpha on fully volunteered time—determined to get a product out into the world to help folks find connection, joy, & ease in their lives.

Mycah of @merkabatech enters as Productivity Manager in July.

Though the reality of an under-resourced startup is stressful & chaotic, finally, on 9/23/24 at 11:23pm PST, the team opens the digital doors to Nuclear Fusion Network.
