AI media intelligence for PR agencies and brands: tracks news, social and online mentions in real time. 51 paying companies, ~$250K ARR.
Current Status
On the market with revenue since March 2025. 51 paying companies, ~$320K ARR, plus 10 pilots in the UAE, Turkey and Central Asia. Raised a $15K SAFE from Astana Hub; participating in ITU Seed Accelerator and Alchemist Accelerator (Oct–Dec 2026). Scano Labs, Inc. (Delaware) set up for US expansion; now running US customer discovery with PR agencies and brands and raising a $2M round.
Problem or Opportunity
PR agencies, communications teams and brands need to know what is said about them across news, social media and the web, fast enough to respond. Manual monitoring is slow and incomplete, and enterprise tools are expensive, built for English-only markets, and weak on regional media in emerging markets like USA, Middle East and the Central Asia.
Solution (product or service)
Scano is one AI platform that hears everything said about a brand and helps the team act on it. Own crawlers and AI models cover news, social networks, messaging apps, video and reviews in 20+ languages, with alerts within minutes and AI-written reports. From the same data teams reply in one inbox, pitch the right journalists, measure creators and test messages before posting, at about a third of the price of large suites.
Business model
B2B SaaS subscription: monthly or annual plans priced by number of tracked brands/topics, sources and users, plus custom enterprise plans and paid analytics reports. Customers: PR and communications agencies, brands and enterprises
Incubation/Acceleration programs accomplishment
