AI-enabled productivity and skill optimization for firms using Generative AI
Firms deploying generative AI have no framework to guide their decisions, so they can't tell if they're getting a good return or if default approaches are quietly deskilling their workforce.
SkillBench is a platform that gives firms research-backed analytics to guide generative AI deployment decisions.
Its analytics are framed as simultaneously boosting productivity and skills and optimizing human-machine collaboration, rather than just tracking usage.
Founded by Matt Beane and Juho Kim, researchers with MIT and KAIST backgrounds; the Santa Barbara company disclosed a $15.1M seed raise via SEC Form D in July 2026, with investors including Asia2G Capital and Spring Camp.
