## About

Founded in 2018 and based in Illinois, US, Sabanto Inc. offers an aftermarket autonomy system for tractors. Craig Rupp is the founder, and as of March 2023, he serves as the CEO of the company. In July 2026, Sabanto, Inc. raised an undisclosed amount of series B funding led by Leaps by Bayer, with participation from Sustainable Forward Capital, InnoVenture Iowa, Fulcrum Global Capital, DCVC and Yara Growth Ventures.

The company provides compatible equipment, including Kubota M5-091 and M5-111 tractors, Fendt 7xx Vario Gen6, 3-Point Hitch, and Pull-Type Implements. The firm’s autonomy system is equipped with various safety mechanisms, such as object detection, enforced geofences, a handheld kill switch, on-tractor emergency stops, remote emergency stops, and onboard cameras, to ensure safe and reliable operation. Sabanto's also offers mission control software that allows users to plan and control field operations remotely, monitor operations in real time, and receive timely alerts and notifications. Moreover, the data generated during field operations is available for analysis and can be shared with advisors and third-party tools.

The company will use the July 2026 funding to support continued development of retrofit kits across North America and other regions, broader autonomous technology deployment and customer growth.
