Ep58: e/acc, the Gundo, and turning deserts into forests — Product Market Fit podcast (startups | technology | growth)

Happy New Year! We're kicking off 2024 with a bang! Augustus Doricko is the youngest founder I've interviewed and perhaps the most ambitious. His company, Rainmaker, is looking to use cloud-seeding technology to revitalize the American West and, in his words, extend the Great Plains into Nevada and Arizona. We talked about e/acc and why hard tech is the answer to the growing sense of doomism. And what's happening in "the Gundo" (El Segundo, CA). I love his optimism and ambition and enjoyed our wide-ranging conversation.
