Drones that clear clouds and weaken hurricanes

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build autonomous drones that clear clouds over solar farms and, ultimately, weaken hurricanes before they make landfall. Meteoric's drones boost solar farm output by clearing weather that blocks sunlight. Our longer-term system targets severe storms and climate risk, aiming to help protect people and infrastructure.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and the company will stay based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco puts us in the heart of hardware, aerospace, and climate work, with access to talent, prototyping, and early customers.
