Weather Innovators: Manos and WeatherXM And New Era of Decentralized Weather Monitoring
In this episode, I chat with Manos, the co-founder of WeatherXM, who shares their hardware project's fascinating journey from building the first LoRaWAN network in Greece to its pivot into blockchain-enabled weather data management.
The team initially started in 2012 with the idea of building a crowd-sourced weather observation network. However, it wasn't until 2019 that they combined their hardware expertise with the concepts of Filecoin and Helium to create WeatherXM. The company has since manufactured and sold thousands of home weather stations and is preparing for its token launch on the mainnet. They are also exploring partnerships and business models to expand their reach and impact in the weather data industry.
Manos also discusses an interesting idea that can support global expansion - it is a model that separates the financial investment from the operational management of weather stations. This strategy would enable patrons in affluent nations to fund weather station installations for others in developing regions.
It is a fascinating and also motivating journey. Make sure you listen to the whole episode!
