“Whereas our protein, it's a dried protein formulation, and it can, it's stable at room temperature, and it can last season to season.”

“We want to scale it like irrigation is used today in agriculture, at least in the U.S., and in order to do that, we want to have an agent that, that degrades in the environment, that goes away in the environment, and cloud seeding can't scale with silver iodid…”

“And what we bring, as opposed to silver iodide, is that we can target more clouds and essentially bring, get more rain than silver iodide can currently today. So we can target more geographies, more warmer clouds, more seasonalities, and then at that same temp…”

“Because of our application rate, we can sell it for 20% cheaper than Snowmax to drive adoption.”

“So investors now are unwilling to give gobs and gobs of money when you don't have commercial traction or a plan for revenue and what you're going to get that revenue. And they're not necessarily willing to wait years and years for that to happen.”

“It's just this protein that when it gets sprayed onto the snow, it freezes and makes ice, and then it gets decomposed. It goes away very quickly within minutes or days in the environment.”

“One distinction, too, is that our formulation is protein only. It doesn't contain any bacteria or anything or fungal cells in it, and so proteins are made by microbes, and they, in order to persist in the environment, the proteins need the microbes around to b…”

“No, that's our plan. That's our plan. Nothing would make me happier. Yes, yes, that's I believe that we're positioning ourselves well in order to be able to do that and de-risking the things that we need to de-risk ahead of that.”

“What we're doing with our technology is we're taking natural proteins and encoding them into microbes that we engineered to make the proteins at high levels and maintain their activity”

“We're also targeting water districts and hydropower, because that makes a lot of sense. That's where a lot of cloud seeding is done in, in the U.S. Today, that is silver iodide based. So we would, there's already existing customers in that space. And then our …”

“So like, let's go to Mexico and Brazil and Japan and Idaho, where we have these inbound customers that, that need cloud seeding and that want cloud seeding.”

“We're looking into the southern hemisphere, and specifically at New Zealand, and so we've been Again, I've been calling people, ski resorts operators there in New Zealand, and setting up some trials for us to be able to do some testing there.”

“So our biological can target warmer clouds, which are where the ag fields are, so that we can access ag versus any silver iodide-based cloud seeding.”

“It's an in and out technology that we're developing where we have the effect, we induce precipitation within zero to 30 minutes of delivery, and then that precipitation goes away.”

“We will be using drones for our cloud seeding, and there are some waivers that we will need through the FAA, but those we can get”

“We just did a field trial, our very first field trial up in Wisconsin with a snowmaking expert there, and he was able to demonstrate that when you add our product, you get some fluffy snow, whereas if you don't add the product, you get rain, and that was the f…”

“We're well on track to be able to make some early revenue. Either in this off season or the next U.S. Winter season.”

“Because our proteins are not engineered, we can go through EPA, TSCA regulation, and that is relatively quick over several months. Approval process.”
