Cloneable, an AI automation company focused on infrastructure operations, today announced Cloneable Agent, a fully agentic platform that captures the institutional knowledge of experts and deploys it as specialized AI agents. The company also announced a $4.6 million seed round led by Congruent Ventures, with participation from First In, Overline, St. Elmo Venture Capital, and Bull City Venture Partners.
"Everyone's watching AI reshape office work. We're watching something quieter and more consequential. The engineers who run America's grid, its telecom networks, its construction projects are retiring, and what they know is retiring with them. That knowledge was built over 30-year careers, living in the heads of the best people in the room. Cloneable exists because that expertise is too valuable to lose, and because we finally have the technology to deploy it at a scale these industries have never seen." Lia Reich, Co-Founder and CEO, Cloneable
Cloneable Agent can turn any back office workflow into AI agents that can replicate the work at unlimited scale by shadowing company experts using the desktop or web based software they already use. At launch, purpose-built templates for energy: make ready engineering, permitting, and joint use are demonstrating time-to-value in as little as 24 hours.
The founding team spent more than a decade building in the commercial drone industry from the ground up, walking cornfields with ag researchers, riding with utility linemen, and architecting enterprise systems for Fortune 500 operations. That experience and trusted relationships give Cloneable a deep competitive advantage: an unmatched understanding of how field expertise moves through organizations, and where it breaks down.
“The $30T US economy relies on infrastructure that's aging faster than we can maintain it. The real bottleneck isn't just dollars, its decades of uncaptured industrial knowledge. The result is infrastructure that never gets built, grids that never get hardened, an industrial base that never gets modernized. Born from a decade of lived experience in industrial data capture, Cloneable's vertical AI agents represent a fundamentally new category to manage our most fundamental industries.” Eliza Cushman, Partner, Congruent Ventures
Cloneable unveiled its field platform in 2025, which established the company in the infrastructure market by streamlining workflows such as pole inspections, improving safety, inspection speed, and data quality. The platform has been embraced by dozens of customers, including utility companies, internet service providers, utility and telecom engineering firms, and agribusinesses. Now with the addition of Cloneable Agent, Cloneable covers workflows all the way from the field to the back office.
“We’re asking aging infrastructure to carry a modern economy, and we’re still managing it with fragmented tools and tribal knowledge. That gap has a real cost. What Cloneable has built, from field capture through back-office execution, is the kind of operational continuity this industry has needed for a long time.” Tate Stricklin, CEO, Texas Area Telecom
The $4.6 million seed round will accelerate expansion across infrastructure-intensive industries: public utilities, vegetation management, energy, construction, rail, mining, agriculture, and manufacturing. These are markets chronically underserved by point solutions. No one has combined in-field data collection with agentic automation at the scale these industries require. While competitors are locked into hardcoded, single-use workflows, Cloneable customers build and deploy new applications in hours, from data collection to actionable outcomes.
