Rain

Rain (Rain.aero) is a technology startup founded in 2019 and based in Alameda, California, with operations in Palo Alto.

The company specializes in the Aerospace and Defense sector, focusing on public safety, emergency services, and wildfire management. Inspired by the devastating 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park Firestorm, Rain aims to revolutionize wildfire response through autonomous aircraft technology. The flagship product, The Rain System, is a network of autonomous drones designed to detect and suppress wildfires quickly. These drones utilize advanced sensors and AI to identify ignitions within seconds and can contain fires within 10 minutes. Rain also offers a Wildfire Intelligence System for strategic planning and real-time monitoring, along with leasing and maintenance services for their aircraft and systems. Their technology is aimed at fire agencies, regional governments, and organizations involved in wildfire management, enhancing safety and response capabilities in high-risk areas.
