SVSG 3 - Rainmaker vs The Resistance The Battle for the Skies - Serge VS Goliath
Who is Augustus Doricko—and what does Rainmaker really do?
In this candid episode of Serge vs. Goliath, host Serge Brown sits down with the 24-year-old
founder and CEO of Rainmaker, a startup using drone-based cloud seeding to address drought
and water scarcity in the American West.
Doricko opens up about his journey from UC Berkeley to the front lines of atmospheric
intervention, his company’s goals, the public backlash, and the misunderstood science behind
weather modification.
Together, Serge and Augustus explore the blurred lines between innovation and intrusion—
touching on topics like:
• Dubai’s historic flood and cloud seeding’s possible role
• Liability, downwind drought, and the limits of current science
• The GAO’s skepticism and the search for real-world data
• Concerns about military funding and venture capital ties
• What it means to build a business in a field shadowed by secrecy
This isn’t a shouting match—it’s a rare, respectful conversation between two people with very
different views, both asking hard questions.
Because the only way to confront truth… is to talk to it.
