Summary
Congruent Ventures led the raise, which included participation from First In, Overline, Bull City Venture Partners, and St. It brings the Raleigh, North Carolina-based startup’s total raised to $5.35 million since its 2023 inception. The idea for Cloneable traces back to a bottleneck its founders encountered years earlier while working in the field. In 2019, as wildfires ravaged California, co-founders Lia Reich, Tyler Collins and Patrick Lohman — founding employees at drone company PrecisionHawk — were deployed to help inspect critical infrastructure. When Reich visited a PG&E utility command center weeks later, she saw hundreds of workers manually scrubbing through video footage, while only a handful of experts knew what to look for.
