[We originally sent the following to our mailing list subscribers 8/31/24. Added to website 9/7/24.]
Revenue: $9,554
Burn: $32,726
Cash: $836,995
Runway: ~27 months
We came very close to our goal of $10k in sales this month, with almost 100% of our sales growth driven by engagement and outreach over X. We will lean into this strategy next month.
We sent 5 planes to the stratosphere, getting a confirmed release from a balloon at 21km. This is getting better, slowly but surely. We will have a video on every flight by end of year.
An enthusiastic 7-year-old became the youngest person to deploy SAI. Future generations will Cool Earth; they’re already starting to!
We fell short of our goal of reaching 100 corporate clients, but we initiated real sales processes with 25. These will take a while to bear fruit, but we’ll keep you updated.
If you work for a company that matches donations, you can now get twice the cooling credits and a tax deduction:
https://donorbox.org/solar-geoengineering-deployment-research-fund. If you’re already subscribed and do this, let us know and we’ll switch you over from your current subscription.
In September, we will:
Bring in $12,500 in sales
Host a launch with at least 10 customers attending
Return a plane from the stratosphere to a target
Launch a 4,000 gram balloon
Tweeting our way (and whatever else it takes!) to a cooler Earth,
Andrew, Kiran, and Luke
