Cole Robertson is an American entrepreneur and software engineer who is the co-founder and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of dScribe AI, a company that uses autonomous drones and 3D computer vision to track bulk inventory such as agricultural feed stockpiles and mining materials.[1] The company participated in Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch.
Career
Prior to founding dScribe AI, Robertson worked as Head of Engineering at Chipp, an AI startup. Before that, he was engineer number three at Tropic, where he helped scale the company from its seed stage through a Series B funding round.[2]
Robertson attended Kansas State University.[3] He is based in Olathe, Kansas.
Robertson co-founded dScribe AI alongside Warren Wang and Jordan Mryyan. The company addresses a problem in industries that manage large quantities of bulk materials — such as grain, gravel, and mineral stockpiles — where traditional inventory tracking methods rely on rough estimates or expensive manual surveys that can be inaccurate by 30 to 50 percent. dScribe AI's platform combines autonomous drone hardware with 3D vision software to produce precise volumetric measurements of stockpile inventory. The system provides real-time tracking of deliveries and consumption, as well as usage forecasts intended to help companies plan logistics and maintain accurate financial records.[4]
The company's initial focus areas include agricultural feed stockpiles and mining and quarry operations. According to the company, dScribe AI has signed one of the largest agricultural companies in North America as a customer.[5]
In 2025, dScribe AI raised $1.2 million in funding from Abstraction Capital, Flyover Capital, Redbud VC, and KCRise Fund.[6] The company also participated in the Center for Entrepreneurship Accelerator program at Kansas State University, an eight-week program offering faculty-led courses, student research teams, and access to an alumni mentor network.[7]
