Swarmia Raises €10M to Scale Software Engineering Intelligence Platform

Swarmia, the Helsinki-based SaaS company behind one of the most comprehensive software-engineering intelligence platforms on the market, has secured €10 million in new funding. The round was led by DIG Ventures and Karma Ventures, with backing from high-profile angel investors including Romain Huët, Head of Developer Experience at OpenAI, and Cal Henderson, Slack co-founder and former CTO.

Founded in 2019 by serial entrepreneur Otto Hilska, Swarmia equips engineering teams with the data and workflows they need to raise productivity, enhance developer experience and deliver stronger business outcomes. The platform surfaces real-time insights into product development, supports data-driven decision-making and cuts reporting overheads, all while encouraging seamless cross-team collaboration.

Sustainable growth starts with a well-oiled engineering team working towards clear, shared goals and shipping world-class products efficiently.

Swarmia helps organisations master the three pillars of engineering effectiveness: business outcomes, developer productivity and developer experience.

says Hilska

Why engineering intelligence matters

Gartner expects adoption of engineering-intelligence tools to leap from 5 per cent to 70 per cent of companies within the next few years. Many organisations still struggle to make modern practices stick because they lack robust data and ways to apply it strategically. Swarmia bridges that gap by combining carefully chosen quantitative metrics with qualitative survey feedback, then turning the blend into actionable recommendations—not just dashboards.

Traction with global brands

Swarmia already counts Docker, Webflow, Engine, Miro, Trustpilot and Pleo among its customers, alongside several Fortune 500 firms. As it accelerates expansion in the United States, the company is doubling down on enterprise-grade scale and security.

Our customers value the fact that we don’t merely process vast amounts of engineering data; we tell them what to do next.

Hilska adds.

Investors’ view

Swarmia is redefining software-engineering intelligence just as the category enters the mainstream.

What impressed us most was how quickly top-tier engineering leaders adopt the platform and the relief they feel at finally having a single source of truth.
