Augustus Doricko is the founder and CEO of Rainmaker Technology Corp., a company focused on cloud seeding and weather modification. A Thiel Fellow and rising figure in climate tech, Doricko has recently faced public scrutiny following the major floods in Texas. His team conducted a brief cloud seeding operation on July 2 in a limited area of the state, then suspended operations out of caution. While some have raised questions about a possible connection between his work and the recent flooding, Doricko joins us to explain what cloud seeding actually involves—and to weigh in on the growing speculation surrounding it.
