By Superhero Capital | 16 January 2026

Helsinki-based product growth automation platform Skene announces it has closed a €800,000 pre-seed round led by Superhero Capital and with participation from NVIDIA executives. With its first agent already live, Skene CEO Teemu Kinos, Co-Founder of GetJenny, aims to use the funds to cross €1M ARR and expand their offering to support growth across the full user journey by spring 2026.

With 42% of startups missing the market entirely and up to 53% of SaaS applications going unused or underutilised, this execution gap translates into over $113 billion in annual wasted venture investment in viable products that fail to drive essential growth outcomes such as activation, feature adoption, and retention.
