Rainmaker Technology Corporation - Series A

$25M Raised

They say you can’t make it rain on command. Rainmaker Technology Corporation just might have something to say about that, armed with $25M in fresh Series A fuel, a flight deck of weather-resistant drones, and a mission that lands somewhere between national strategy and ecological poetry.

Founded in 2023 but carrying the soul of a Cold War-era tech lab reawakened in the desert sun of El Segundo, Rainmaker is what happens when deeptech meets drought and decides to fight back. The company doesn’t bottle water or pray for clouds, it builds them, enhances them, and coaxes every ounce of rain they’ve got. This isn’t vaporware, it’s vapor warfare.

At the helm is Augustus Doricko, CEO, founder, and a dropout with one foot out of University of California, Berkeley and the other planted firmly in the future. He’s not pitching a climate fairy tale. He’s retooling American cloud-seeding tech that was left on the shelf while China ran with it. Now, Rainmaker’s writing the next chapter, on U.S. soil, with mineral-laced precision and drone ballet that costs just $50.04 a flight hour.

Supporting the push is Director of Operations Harry Thomas, who came aboard in 2023 after cutting his teeth at Hydrosat and NASA-related programs. Georgetown-bred, science-fluent, and operationally lethal, he’s the guy you want when the mission requires both tech and terrain instincts.

This $25M round is led by the climate tech provocateurs at Lowercarbon Capital, with Starship Ventures, 1517 Fund, Long Journey, Garry Tan, and Naval Ravikant also stacking belief behind the storm. Add it to their $6.3M Seed from 2024, and you’ve got $31.3M chasing clouds like it’s a market worth a trillion. Because it is.

The early believers? Not theoretical. Utah Department of Natural Resources, Colorado’s too, and even Santa Barbara are already on deck. These aren’t beta testers, they’re clients betting real budgets on microphysical muscle. Rainmaker’s tech combines radar validation, numerical modeling, and those battlefield-grade drones to find clouds too shy to drop, then turns them into rainmakers of their own.

Forget the Hollywood CGI rain storms, this is the real show, running live. And while others keep trying to pull water out of thin air, Rainmaker’s just teaching nature how to finish what she started.

Agriculture. Watersheds. Hydroelectric grids. Rainmaker’s not “solving” water scarcity. It’s working with nature, guiding her hand, and reminding the world who first cracked the code on cloud seeding.
