Backed by early Miro investor Bas Godska, startup Skrib is rethinking how writers move from idea to finished document. Its AI understands an entire project, giving writers full control while replacing the multi-tool juggle with a single workspace.
Skrib, a writing workspace with built-in AI that keeps the writer in charge, unveils its platform ahead of a public launch later this year. The company also confirms that Bas Godska, best known as one of the first investors in decacorn Miro, has joined Skrib as Co-founding Investor and Advisor, actively contributing to the company’s strategic direction.
Godska is one of Europe’s most active angel investors, with 500+ investments across the technology landscape. His deep understanding of digital marketing and scaling consumer-facing products is instrumental as Skrib prepares to enter the US market.
“I have over thirty years of writing sitting in folders and old hard drives, and I’ve never had a tool that could actually make sense of all of it,” said Bas Godska. “When I saw Skrib, I realised this team had built exactly what I’d been looking for as a writer, not just as an investor. One workspace where AI draws on everything you’ve ever written to help you write what’s next. That’s why I didn’t just invest, I joined the team.”
Early Traction and Funding
Skrib has opened a closed beta to its first users and is actively iterating with early feedback. The company has raised $360,000 to date, including a $60,000 grant from GITA (the Georgian Innovation and Technology Agency), a $100,000 friends-and-family round, and a $200,000 angel round. Skrib operates on a freemium SaaS model with tiered paid subscriptions planned for launch.
What Skrib Is Building and Why
Today, writers still rely on five or more disconnected tools to move from research to a finished document. Notes live in one app, outlines in another, drafts in a third, and AI assistance in a separate chat window. The result is constant context-switching, lost material, and an AI that, no matter how powerful, only ever sees a fraction of what the writer is actually working on.
Skrib is built on a simple belief: anyone writing something that matters needs to plan before they write, needs deep context at their fingertips, and needs a clean, professional space to do the actual writing. In today’s world, they also need AI, but AI that understands the full picture.
That belief shapes everything about how Skrib works. Board is an infinite canvas for organising ideas, research, uploaded documents, and notes before committing to the page. Draft is a professional, block-based editor built for clean, beautiful long-form writing with formatting options, version history, and inline AI suggestions the user can accept or reject individually. Archive is where a writer’s entire body of work lives, searchable and AI-indexed, so the assistant can draw on thirty years of past writing to help with what you’re working on today.
Skrib is not a feature bolted onto an existing editor. It is a complete writing studio, designed from the ground up so that planning, drafting, and deep context live in one architecture. The AI is native to that architecture, which means it doesn’t need the writer to copy-paste background material or explain what they’re working on. It already knows, because Board, Draft, and Archive are one connected system.
The gap Skrib fills is not between writers and AI-generated text
It is between writers who want to stay in control and AI that can actually be useful to them. Most tools today offer a choice: either let AI produce a mediocre first draft for you, or get no AI help at all. Skrib offers a third path, one where the writer remains the creator, and AI becomes a genuine superpower inside their creative process.
Safe AI, Writer in Control
Every AI suggestion in Skrib appears inline and must be individually approved before anything in the manuscript changes. Skrib is built on a safe AI philosophy: user content is never used to train AI models, not Skrib’s, not anyone else’s, and never leaves the writer’s workspace without explicit permission. Your writing stays yours.
“Our mission is to help people write better and faster, not to write for them,” said Giorgi Kadagidze, CEO and Co-founder of Skrib. “AI should assist the process, not replace it. Every feature we build starts with one question: does the user stay in control? If the answer is no, we don’t develop it.”
Market Opportunity
Skrib sits at the intersection of AI-assisted writing tools, visual planning software, and knowledge management, serving everyone from novelists, screenwriters, and hobbyist writers to academic researchers, freelancers, and business professionals. The estimated addressable market across these categories exceeds $20 billion, and according to the Menlo Ventures AI Report 2025, AI-native applications have grown from $1.7 billion to $37 billion in spending, with startups capturing 63% of application-layer revenue.
