What Swarmia does

Swarmia is a Helsinki-based B2B SaaS engineering intelligence platform founded in 2019 by Otto Hilska. The platform aggregates data from code repositories, issue trackers, AI coding tools, and HR systems into a unified model of how engineering organizations operate, integrating with GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Azure DevOps, LinearB, Jellyfish, Waydev, Chrono Platform, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Its core product surface includes engineering metrics, DORA metrics, investment balance tracking, initiatives management, and feedback loops, supplemented by modules for AI adoption and cost tracking, developer productivity and AI impact, software capitalization reporting, and developer experience surveys. The flagship Swarmia AI feature provides an always-on engineering analyst that answers natural-language questions and surfaces root causes behind trends, while Swarmia MCP (Model Context Protocol) exposes the same data to AI coding tools such as Claude and Cursor.

Revenue is generated through SaaS subscriptions on an annual billing cadence, with pricing not publicly disclosed and a hybrid go-to-market combining self-serve free trials with guided demo-led enterprise sales, plus a formal partner program for channel distribution. The company serves engineering leaders (managers, directors, VPs of engineering, CTOs) and their software teams across startups through large enterprises, with a horizontal segmentation approach. Named customers include Engine, Smartly, PrescriberPoint, Miro, Bolt, Honeycomb, Parloa, Matillion, Cleo, TrueLayer, Staffbase, Aiven, Trustpilot, and AdCellerant, spanning technology, healthcare, marketing/advertising, observability, HR tech, financial services, and database/infrastructure verticals. Swarmia is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant and was named a Leader in G2's Summer 2026 reports.

The company operates from Helsinki (Lapinlahdenkatu 16) and New York (169 Madison Ave, Suite 15682) and has raised approximately €16.7 million across a €6.7M seed round in May 2021 led by Alven Capital and a €10M Series A in June 2025 co-led by DIG Ventures and Karma Ventures, with angel participation from OpenAI's Head of Developer Experience Romain Huët and former Slack CTO Cal Henderson.
