# Skan AI Raises $63M Series C for Enterprise Workflow Monitoring

> Skan AI has closed a $63 million Series C co led by Cathay Innovation and Dell Technologies Capital, with Citi Ventures, Bloomberg Beta, State Farm, and Wipro Ventures also joining. The pitch behind the raise is a simple but overlooked idea: before you can automate a workflow with AI, you need to actually understand how the work gets done. Skan builds what it calls a context graph, observing how employees really move through their tasks rather than how a process document says they should. That map of real behavior becomes the foundation for deciding where AI agents can plausibly take over and where they would just break things. It is a telling bet at this moment. A lot of enterprise AI stalls not because the models are weak but because nobody has a clear picture of the messy processes they are meant to slot into. Investors here are wagering that this observation layer, the unglamorous work of watching how offices actually function, is a missing piece of making enterprise AI real.
