If you’re planning to launch your own a weather-related technology innovation, then what are the ingredients of a successful business, and how can you get the funding to launch it in the first place?

When it comes to funding, there are various formal and informal networks that bring would-be entrepreneurs face to face with financiers, be they investors, lenders, grant organisations or, bang up to date, crowd-funders.

Perhaps more fundementally though, how can you be sure that there’s actually a demand or requirement for what your business will be offering?

One problem you may well face is that few financiers know the first thing about the weather, or how weather technologies and data services can assist weather affected businesses.

You’ll have to explain this to them and a critical ingredient will be your business plan. This will require a clear marketing plan and realistic sales and revenue projections. Very importantly, it must display a clear understanding of who your customers are and why they want what you’re offering.

In this episode of Business of Weather, we talk to serial weather entrepreneur, Dr. Jan Dutton, about his own experiences of setting up a business and getting funding

Jan is the CEO of Prescient Weather Ltd. and ClimBiz Ltd. His career spans positions at Weather Ventures, Earth Networks, Storm Exchange, Schneider Electric, and DTN.

His career objective he says, is to enable business decision making based on weather and climate information.

In future episodes we shall be talking to other weather entrepreneurs t learn of their experiences.

The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research – or UCAR for short – is a US non profit consortium of more than 115 North American colleges and universities focused on research and training in the atmospheric and related sciences.

Since it's formation in 1958, it's aim has been to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and share knowledge. Through co-operation with the private sector it takes research out of the lab and into the real world for the benefit of society.

UCAR has a major presence in the community which embraces numerous areas ranging from encouraging diverse students to pursue science careers, to providing online professional training, data delivery, and other services.

UCAR also manages the National Centre for Atmospheric Research – or NCAR – which it set up in partnership with the US National Science Foundation to address pressing scientific and societal needs involving the atmosphere and its interactions with the oceans, land, and the Sun – what is now called ‘Earth system science'.

To get an inside view on UCAR, and how it is responding to the growing challenges of extreme weather & climate change, Business if Weather spoke to the UCAR President, Dr. Tony Busalacchi.

Dr Busalacchi also gave his thoughts on the relationship between atmospheric research and public health, and how we might extend the benefits gained during the Covid-19 lockdown.
