CereboticOur Origin
"I conceived of Cerebotic long before it had its name. The vision was always clear: people shouldn't have to risk their lives to work."
Cerebotic began with a simple yet profound observation: in a world of advancing technology, we still send humans into extraordinarily dangerous situations.
Our founder, Rawn Kelly, watched as industries continued to operate with paradigms from the previous century, where injury and possibly death were treated as inevitable.
The question became clear: Why are people being put at risk when technology should do these jobs? Not in the future, but today, with the tools and capabilities we already possess.
This isn't just about building better robots or smarter software. It's about fundamentally transforming how dangerous work is done, with a singular focus on preserving human life.
Our Mission
Our founding mission is to build technology that preserves humanity. Practically this means we target the world's most dangerous industries and aim to recruit the world's best talent in order to help people in performing their dangerous work. The reality is 300,000,000+ people a year are killed, hospitalized, or are left with permanent disability from work-related accidents and diseases. Lives are still being routinely placed at risk and we believe this is unacceptable.
Mining
Operators risk their lives for highwall inspections and underground operations where rockfalls can be fatal.
Oil & Gas
Workers exposed to explosive environments, deadly gases, and extreme heights during routine inspections.
Utilities
Inspectors examine risky electrical equipment and work at dangerous heights with minimal protection.
Our Values
Our values guide everything we do, from how we build our products to our team.
Care
One Mission
Human-First
True Meritocracy
Fearless Execution
Open Collaboration
Care
This might seem obvious but it's not. People start and join companies for all sorts of reasons. Some just want money, others prestige, some to prove to themselves and others that they can, some do it for all three.
While we generally think this is fine for most companies we aren't one of them. We actually care, this applies to our team, investors, and customers, but most importantly to our mission. Without a genuine care for the mission it'll never be accomplished. The road won't be easy nor quick and it's the fact that we care that will take us the whole way.
How We Work
Our culture is designed to execute on our mission with focus and velocity.
Remote-First
We're fully distributed, allowing us to hire the best talent regardless of location. We believe in asynchronous communication and deep work, not endless meetings.
Extreme Ownership
Each team member takes complete responsibility for their domain. We value autonomy with accountability, and push decision-making to those closest to the problems.
True Meritocracy
Ideas win on their merits, not on who proposed them. We operate with a flat hierarchy where even a day-one employee can influence our direction if they have the best solution.
Our Execution Framework
- 1
Rapid Prototyping
We build to learn, not to perfect. Moving quickly through iterations validates assumptions and generates insights faster than endless planning.
- 2
User-Centered Testing
We involve actual operators from target industries throughout our development process, ensuring we solve real problems in practical ways.
- 3
Ruthless Prioritization
We focus exclusively on what moves our mission forward. This means saying "no" to good ideas that aren't aligned with our current priorities.
Our Roadmap
Our roadmap works toward a future where people don't risk their lives to work.
Safety First
Build software for safer inspections in high-risk environments
Digital Defense
Expand into network security with advanced threat detection systems
Security Platform
Deploy our security platform in defense applications to protect lives
Cerebots
Build task-optimized Cerebots to perform jobs too dangerous for people
Neural Integration
Integrate non-invasive BCI to deploy Cerebots in varied combat environments
Grand Vision
Preserve humanity by removing people from warfare
Our Progress
Our journey to transform safety in the world's most dangerous industries.
Concept Formed
Our CEO and founder Rawn Kelly first conceptualizes the idea for a vr drone control system that would go on to become our first product SKY while studying computer science.
Future Vision
We're building toward a future where people don't risk life to work.
Defense Applications
Our security technology will be deployed in defense contexts, keeping personnel away from dangerous situations while maintaining operational effectiveness.
Neural Interfaces
Non-invasive brain-computer interfaces will allow operators to control advanced robotics with unprecedented precision and natural interaction.
Humanitarian Focus
Our ultimate goal is to remove humans from all dangerous scenarios, including warfare, to preserve humanity and reduce suffering worldwide.
