Summary

Augustus Doricko is the founder and CEO of Rainmaker, a next generation cloud seeding company. He is a UC Berkeley dropout, Thiel Fellow, and member of the El Segundo hard tech scene. Rainmaker uses weather resistant drones to increase precipitation and novel radar hardware to measure how much man-made precipitation is created. Rainmaker’s first priority is reversing the desertification of the American west, and ultimately to terraform deserts into abundant, green, arable land.
