Andrew has been essential in building Make Sunsets, and now he is transitioning to an Advisor role. Make Sunsets wouldn't be where it is today without his grit and execution. Andrew literally sold something that had never been sold before to over 1,000 customers, ranging from students to billionaires. He has earned the right to say he can sell anything to anyone. Andrew is taking a short break to recharge before looking for his next adventure. If you know a founder who needs help with Sales/GTM, you should drop him a line here.

So, I'm "hiring." If you have a hypothesis about how we can get more people to Cool Earth that you would like to test, let me know. If it's interesting, I'll probably fund it. Tiktoks that will reach those Zoomers, campaigns to pressure large polluters into offsetting their warming impact with Cooling Credits, and weirder stuff: all proposals welcome!

We did a test flight with a bigger plane for cloud seeding research: flies, slowly, with plenty of cargo room. Also, first cloud revenue: $1k for initial prototype of a cloud chamber to test nucleation of novel particles. The circuit for our custom balloon tracker is close but not there yet.

No corporate customers yet. We will crack this... eventually.

This month, I will:
-fund 2 new hypotheses to try and increase revenue
-earn at least another $1k from cloud seeding research
-finish + fly our custom tracker

With stratospheric levels of gratitude to Andrew and all of you,
Luke

P.S. Anyone wondering how this setback will affect Make Sunsets would be wise to consider the adversity we've already overcome;)
