#33: Jeff Bezos Thinks This Kid’s Startup Could Control The Weather
Michael and Simmy study the success of two startups built by young people.
In #33, Michael Sikand (@michaelsikand) and Simran Sandhu (@_simmy_) discuss
Antimetal and Rainmaker. Antimetal was started by now 25-year-old HS dropout Matthew Prakhurst, who has seemingly sold everything under the sun in his career. Now he’s built a huge tech company saving 1000+ startups millions on their cloud hosting costs via AWS. Next up is deep-tech startup Rainmaker, led by 23-year-old Berkeley dropout Augustus Doricko. Rainmaker uses a fleet of drones that dispense chemicals into the atmosphere which artificially trigger rainfall. Jeff Bezos is a noted fan of the technology.
