Cloneable Secures $4.6M Seed Round to Scale Agentic AI for Industrial Infrastructure

Cloneable, a Raleigh-based AI startup, has raised $4.6 million in seed funding led by Congruent Ventures. The company specializes in a no-code AI platform that 'shadows' human experts in heavy industries—such as energy, utilities, and construction—to capture institutional knowledge and convert it into autonomous AI agents for edge devices. This latest round brings Cloneable's total funding to approximately $5.35 million since its 2023 inception.

The company has demonstrated significant commercial momentum, reporting a 100x increase in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) during 2025. Its customer base includes major utility players like American Electric Power and Southern California Edison. Cloneable's business model combines seat-based licensing for its field inspection tools with usage-based, per-token pricing for its new agentic AI product, which aims to automate complex engineering tasks that previously required hours of manual labor.
