SUMMARY

  • Helsinki-based Swarmia, a SaaS startup focused on software engineering intelligence, has raised €10 million to enhance its platform that delivers real-time insights into product development.

The funding round was led by DIG Ventures and Karma Ventures, with support from prominent angel investors like Romain Huët (Head of Developer Experience at OpenAI) and Cal Henderson (Co-founder and former CTO of Slack).

“All companies are now looking for profitability and growth. Sustainable growth starts with a well-oiled team of engineers, who work toward a shared goal and deliver world-class products to the market effectively”, says Otto Hilska, Founder and CEO of Swarmia.

“Swarmia helps organisations master the three pillars of engineering effectiveness. These three pillars, business outcomes, developer productivity, and developer experience, all directly contribute to how any company can grow and succeed. With Swarmia, engineering leaders can align work with business goals, managers can streamline development processes, and developers can focus on high-value tasks with fewer interruptions,” he adds.

“Most developer tools today simply display data. While data visualisation serves a purpose, the real challenge lies in helping engineering teams interpret this data and act on it effectively. Swarmia provides engineering teams with actionable recommendations to drive better business outcomes and profitable growth,” Hilska says.

Software engineering intelligence is a fast-growing category. Gartner predicts adoption will rise from 5% to 70% of companies in the coming years, signaling a shift in how engineering teams are managed. Today’s leaders are focused on building systems that help teams prioritize better and deliver more value to customers.

But many organizations still face hurdles—like lack of useful data and difficulty applying insights effectively. Swarmia tackles this by combining smart quantitative metrics with qualitative survey feedback to give teams a clearer, more strategic view of their work.

“We’re thrilled to enter this next growth phase. We already support several Fortune 500 companies that rely on our platform not just to process their large quantities of data, but also to receive real-time recommendations for the actions they should take,” Hilska adds.

Swarmia works with leading global companies like Docker, Webflow, Engine, Miro, Trustpilot, and Pleo. The company also plans to grow its presence in the U.S. market.

“Swarmia is redefining software engineering intelligence at a time when adoption is moving into the mainstream, and we’re really excited to partner with them. It’s inspiring to see a leader in the space emerging from Europe. What really stood out in our conversations with Swarmia customers was the ease of adoption and the genuine relief of engineering leaders in top-tier software companies, finally having a unified data source to confidently lead their engineering teams,” says Kristjan Laanemaa, Founding Partner at Karma Ventures.
