Exploring the Intersection of Faith and Innovation: Rainmaker’s Journey to Make it Rain

Rainmaker, a startup founded by Augustus Doricko in El Segundo, is making waves in the world of weather modification. Doricko, a man with a diverse religious background, has raised $6.3 million for his cloud seeding venture, which aims to make it rain by introducing ice nuclei to clouds.

Despite the skepticism and the label of being crazy, Doricko is armed with historical evidence that cloud seeding is not a new concept. In fact, the U.S. government’s Project Stormfury from 1962 to 1983 sought to weaken cyclones by seeding clouds with silver iodide.

While Rainmaker has not yet made it rain, Doricko is confident in the potential of his technology. Cloud seeding has been making headlines internationally, with China boasting one of the largest cloud seeding operations in the world.

Doricko acknowledges the ethical implications of weather modification, likening it to other forms of intentional environmental modification. He believes that reducing the impact of natural disasters like hurricanes is a noble goal.

With plans to further develop their technology and get out in the field, Rainmaker is on a mission to prove that making it rain is not just a pipe dream. As Doricko continues to defy the odds and push the boundaries of weather modification, the world watches with bated breath to see if Rainmaker can truly make it rain.
