Skene raises €800k to accelerate software growth via AI agents
Helsinki-based startup Skene has secured €800,000 in a pre-seed round, signaling growing interest in AI-driven solutions for software growth. The platform aims to automate product growth by leveraging AI agents, addressing the challenge of converting software development into commercial success. This funding round, led by Superhero Capital and including NVIDIA executives, underscores the potential for AI to transform how software products are adopted and utilized. Skene's core technology involves an AI agent that analyzes a product's source code. This analysis informs the creation of continuously updated user guidance integrated into existing workflows. The goal is to facilitate faster user value realization, which should lead to increased adoption, broader product usage, and stronger user retention throughout the product lifecycle. The impact of Skene's platform is primarily felt by software companies, particularly those focused on SaaS. By automating key growth functions like onboarding and retention, Skene offers a scalable alternative to traditional, often manual, growth strategies. The company plans to expand its platform to cover the full product growth loop by early 2026.
