Skene

Skene, operated by Skene Technologies, is a Helsinki-based software company building product-data reliability tooling for B2B SaaS teams. The product reads the event-writing code in a customer's repository, maps it against a collection plan derived from the customer journey, and reports events that were removed, renamed, moved, conditionally fired or stripped of properties. Findings name the signal, the file location and the failure mode, and are delivered as reviewable pull-request comments; a CI gate fails a build when a required tracking event or the table behind it is missing, while a payload that lost a property is reported without failing the build.

The company positions itself as a layer that protects the collection feeding existing analytics tools such as PostHog and Mixpanel rather than replacing them, and states it does not store, model or visualize customer event data. Beyond drift detection, the hosted Skene Cloud includes an editable journey canvas, an events table counting tracking gaps, a "Flows" view of user movement captured by a single script tag, and an "Evaluator" that judges whether a measurement plan is launch-ready by counting how many required signals were found in code or runtime evidence, then re-runs the success formula against real data afterwards.

Earlier public materials from the January 2026 funding announcement described Skene as a product growth automation platform whose autonomous AI agents read a product's source code to generate continuously improving in-product user guidance, aimed at activation, feature adoption and retention without heavy sales or customer-success headcount.

Founding story

The three co-founders started Skene after the exit of GetJenny in 2021. Kinos, who had built and run growth at SaaS companies for a decade, describes the motivation as two dashboards giving him two different numbers. The company frames the underlying problem as coding agents being indifferent to side effects: the write that records an event gets dropped in a refactor, the table it fed goes to zero, and the release still ships green because a row that stopped arriving is not a failing test.

Business model

Skene sells software: an MIT-licensed open-source command-line tool that requires no account, and a commercial cloud service that starts with a free, no-card audit of what a product collects, with continuous release checking and journey recommendations as the paid tier. The company describes GTM teams as the buyer while engineering benefits, and reported roughly $200 per month average revenue per paying customer in August 2026.

Subscription software with a free open-source core and a free initial cloud audit; paid plans were stated at $29 per month with a 1.5M token budget. Average revenue per paying customer was around $200 per month in August 2026.

Traction

First AI agent live with customers at the January 2026 pre-seed announcement; about a thousand cloners of the open-source tool but almost no cloud conversion; first revenue June 2026; roughly $2,000 MRR across 10 paying customers in August 2026. Fifteen outlets covered the EUR 800,000 pre-seed.

Latest developments

Repositioned in May 2026 from an open-source developer tool to "product data your GTM team can trust"; first revenue in June 2026 and, in August 2026, roughly $2,000 MRR across 10 paying customers. A seed round targeting EUR 1.5M was open, separate from the pre-seed, with no term sheet as of July 2026.
