Excited to welcome Rainmaker Technology Corporation and founder Augustus Doricko as a presenting finalist at Progression 2026! At Rainmaker Technology Corporation, the goal is simple and enormous: make freshwater available to all. Based in El Segundo, CA, they are modernizing the process of cloud seeding through an integrated system of advanced radar, unmanned aircraft, and a cutting edge weather awareness platform. What makes Rainmaker technically compelling is the full stack approach. Most players in this space operate with fragmented tools. Rainmaker has built and consolidated the sensing, the delivery mechanism, and the intelligence layer together, which means they can act faster, more precisely, and at greater scale than previous attempts. At Progression, we back founders who see natural systems as something to work with, not around. Augustus and the Rainmaker Technology Corporation team are doing exactly that, turning atmospheric science into actionable infrastructure for the communities that need it most. We are excited to have them in Park City this April. Progression 2026 | April 2 and 3 | Park City, UT 🚨 Register before 3/31 at the link in the comments 👇

Thrilled to welcome Jason Puracal and ZILA BioWorks as a presenting finalist at Progression 2026! ZILA BioWorks is transforming hardtech manufacturing with cleaner, greener chemistry, tackling an overlooked challenges in industrial decarbonization: epoxy resins. Today, these materials are deeply embedded across industries but remain tied to fossil feedstocks, driving high emissions and persistent waste. ZILA's patented bio-epoxy platform decouples performance from petroleum. Their materials deliver the strength and durability required for demanding applications, while enabling lower carbon footprints and improved recyclability. Now at the pilot stage, ZILA is already working with leading outdoor industry partners, including Burton Snowboards and DPS Skis, where their materials have been tested in high-performance product environments. This early validation in core outdoor applications highlights both performance credibility and immediate commercial relevance. As they scale, ZILA is expanding into broader markets including construction materials and clean energy systems, where advanced composites play a critical role. At Progression, we focus on technologies that sit at the intersection of climate, industry, and real-world deployment. ZILA represents exactly that. A materials innovation platform with the potential to reshape how products are made across multiple sectors. We look forward to having the ZILA BioWorks team join us in Park City this April.
