"The Future of Agriculture"
Iowa-based agtech company offering retrofit autonomy kits that convert existing tractors into 24/7 driverless machines for field operations.
Sabanto Inc. was founded in 2018 by Craig Rupp and Kyler Laird in Ames, Iowa. The company develops and sells retrofit autonomous upgrade kits that transform existing 75–240 HP tractors into fully autonomous machines capable of 24/7 driverless operation. The Sabanto Autonomy System combines high-accuracy GNSS positioning, obstacle-detection cameras, and a proprietary Vehicle OS (vOS) with Vehicle Mission Control (vMC) mobile and desktop software for real-time fleet monitoring.
Supported operations include mowing, roto-tilling, rolling, aerating, and seeding. In June 2026, Sabanto announced a technical integration with Verdant Robotics' SharpShooter precision application system enabling end-to-end autonomous field workflows. The company has raised over $23M including a $17M Series A led by Fulcrum Global Capital.
Headquarters: Itasca, IL, with R&D operations in Ames, IA.
