Climate Corp.

We are facing a future in which having the word "climate" in your business model is going to be a a good thing.  From prediction, to preparation, to prevention - - the risk and uncertainty associated with climate change has and will produce business opportunities.  The scope and scale of these opportunities will be economically huge.

Climate Corp. understands this future.  The firm was founded by two Google executives and funded by $60 million in venture capital.  Staffed by an army of data scientists, the company is bringing data analytics to rural America and helping farmers reap more consistent profits from their fields.

In my opinion, climate change and extreme weather is a predictable problem.  This is just another example of a future where cloud computing, modeling, and other technologies are now revolutionizing more traditional industries.
