Our Founders

Capital Weather exists because of readers who believe trusted local weather coverage is worth supporting.

The individuals listed below joined us as Founders during our launch month, helping turn the vision of an independent Capital Weather into reality. Their generosity provided crucial early support as we began building this new chapter.

We are deeply grateful for their confidence, encouragement and belief in our mission.

We are honored to recognize our active Founders here. (If you are a Founder and don't see your name or would like to change how it is displayed, please contact us.)
