Berlin-based AI startup n8n, known for helping businesses automate workflows, has announced that it raised $180 million in a Series C round, pushing its valuation to $2.5 billion.
The round was led by U.S. venture capital firm Accel, with participation from Meritech, Redpoint, Matt Miller’s Evantic, and Visionaries Club. T Capital (Deutsche Telekom’s corporate venture arm) and Nvidia’s NVentures also joined, while existing investors Sequoia, HV Capital, Highland Europe, and Felicis Ventures returned for follow-on investments.
The widespread media coverage over the summer underscores the growing buzz around the funding.
Founded in 2019, the startup has now raised a total of $240 million, including a $60 million round in March this year.
Describing itself as an “AI orchestration platform,” n8n enables companies to connect hundreds of applications and services, automating various business functions. Its technology integrates large language models and AI agents to streamline complex workflows.
Jan Oberhauser, CEO and founder of n8n, said, “Billions have been poured into AI tools by businesses and governments, but many organizations are struggling to see meaningful results. The fundamental challenge for the largest organizations isn’t accessing AI; it’s orchestrating it effectively. N8n allows teams to build their own adaptable infrastructure for AI, developing truly flexible, customizable systems that recreate how organizations work.”
The company plans to use the fresh capital not only to address growing enterprise demand but also to expand its engineering capabilities, while simultaneously developing new features and further scaling internationally.
Currently, it serves over 3,000 enterprise clients, including Vodafone, Softbank, and Seat, and claims to have grown revenue tenfold in the past year (though exact figures were not revealed). Its community of more than 700,000 developers and builders contributes integrations, templates, and tutorials.
Ben Fletcher, partner at Accel, said, “Jan and the n8n team balance power and simplicity to bring AI automation to all users. n8n’s platform has become the brain behind the orchestration for numerous workflows within enterprises, government organizations, and AI builders. The explosive customer momentum is coupled with an impressive, vibrant community around n8n. We’re thrilled to be joining the n8n team on their journey, turning the promise of AI into a reality!”
