Aionics: Austin Sendek

Climate Tech Cocktails

“Spotify tells you the music you’re gonna like, Amazon tells you stuff you’re gonna buy, Netflix tells you which movies you’re gonna watch. All this is doing is saying ‘Hey, scientist, you tried these things and they didn’t work, you tried these things and they did work, here’s something you probably never would’ve thought of, but we think it’s gonna work.” -Austin Sendek, Founder and CEO, Aionics
