Rainmaker’s first peer reviewed publication.

We produced >140M gallons of precipitation, per remote sensor measurement. We’re publishing our findings from the largest dataset of unambiguous precipitation enhancement in history.

Unlike most cloud seeding publications, our findings aren’t from simulation or seasonal statistics. These are physical observations of our effect. Hard proof.

Caveat 1) Ik this is a meme chart

Caveat 2) there are actually spies for geopolitically consequential things (but you’re probably not working on something like that)

[Augustus Doricko @ADoricko]

Among the worst, unintended consequences of “American reindustrialization” culture in tech is the delusional self aggrandizement

Brother you wish you fledgling pre-product software company was geopolitically consequential enough for spies to take interest

You’re not that guy

@chrisnair_ @tobyfenner @USC Kinda does

@sthenc So true

[Augustus Doricko @ADoricko]

@juliehuot77 Yes! We’ve already made snow in our programs this year

[Reflect Orbital @reflectorbital]

We’ve raised $73.5M, bringing total funding to more than $100M.

Huge thanks to existing investors @sequoia , @Lux_Capital and @starship_vc and new investors, including @BuckleyVentures, @convectivecap, @UncommonGP and @SalesforceVC.

They’re amazing partners and we’re fortunate to be on this journey with them!

Our first demonstration mission, planned for the second quarter of 2027, will test how our reflectors unfold in orbit.

We continue to build thoughtfully and will share research on how our technology interacts with the world around it soon.

Onward!

Americans, the young especially, should make plans to leave country. There is no real future to work towards. It’s a sick country. And as bad as it is all over, in America there is really a poor level of culture, and just hatred for the young. Just go where it suits your purpose.

[Augustus Doricko @ADoricko]

Track this one. Ileana is brilliant and a killer

I’m much more optimistic about the future of health and medicine because of Mosaic

[Ileana Pirozzi @ilepirox]

Today, I'm proud to introduce @mosaicintel_lab
the company I've spent the past year building with my cofounder and best friend, @alimackanic.

We are emerging from stealth with $47M in seed financing, to build machines that can make extraordinary surgery far more ordinary.

[Natalie Fratto @NatalieFratto]

This startup pulled 19 million gallons of water out of the sky in 3 hours with drones.

Our latest @chartsncrafts episode on @RainmakerCorp, in partnership with our friends @brexHQ - featuring maybe the prettiest clouds and snow I've ever drawn

[Jakob Diepenbrock @jakobdiepen]

As of today, I am proud to have invested 86 cents in @jared_western and Western Chemicals.

Due to legal reasons, we were required to send 86 cents today so I decided to deliver it in person.

This post is proof of the investment.

If you would like 86 cents (or more) please apply to the @DiscipulusVent Cohort!

Incredible things are happening in El Segundo

[Hannah Warling @hannahwarling]

I can’t believe I get to announce that I’ll be co-hosting my very first El Segundo Bonfire! 🇺🇸🔥

If you’re interested in meeting me in person and talking all things defense tech, storytelling, or marketing strategy, RSVP below! I’d love to meet you!

Crazy to think that I joined the defense industry just 5 months ago and X has already introduced me to so many incredible leaders in this space like @jjkaplowitz, @jakobdiepen, and @ClintEhrlich. And now I’m helping host my very own events!

Shooting your shot and putting yourself out there is so worth it. I’m grateful to everyone who has reached out on here to connect.

I’m usually D.C.-based, so I’m really excited to meet everyone on the West Coast! If you RSVP, let me know below! See you 11/21, can’t wait!

P.S. Request to join before it fills up!

(Pictured: me with Gundo stickers designed by @RobertJohns and @relay_indst. Thank you so much for sending these, I love them!)
