Skene Raises €800,000 to Turn Software Products into Growth Engines with Autonomous AI Agents

Skene, automating onboarding, retention, and growth, so vibe-coders can focus on building, led by Teemu Kinos, Michele Boggia, and Teppo Hudsson, has closed a €800,000 pre-seed round led by Superhero Capital and with participation from NVIDIA executives.

AI-driven development has created a $113B execution gap, where products ship faster than they achieve activation, adoption, or retention. With 42% of startups missing the market and over half of SaaS tools going unused, companies compensate by scaling sales and CS teams instead of fixing core product gaps. Skene targets this problem directly.

“Legacy products rely on human patches to drive growth,” says Kinos. “The future belongs to AI-native teams. Skene automates the entire growth path, improving user outcomes continuously and at a scale manual strategies can’t match.”

Skene’s AI agent reads a product’s source code to understand logic and workflows, generating adaptive user guidance that boosts adoption, expansion, and retention.

“Skene’s code-level approach is a breakthrough,” said Juha Ruohonen, General Partner at Superhero Capital. Shen.ai’s Anna Harris noted that the platform revealed critical gaps and clarified key jobs to be done.
