When I started building n8n six years ago, I never imagined we'd be where we are today. What began as a solution to my own frustration has grown into something used by over 200,000 people worldwide! Today, I'm incredibly excited to announce that we've secured €55 million in Series B funding led by Highland Europe with participation from HV Capital and previous investors Sequoia, Felicis, and Harpoon.

This milestone isn't just about the money – it's about what our incredible community and team have built together! Our mission is to give technical people the powers of a 10x developer. Seeing so many people around the world connect with this, that's what really gets me excited!
From frustration to solution
Like many founders, I built n8n to solve a pain point of my own. I was tired of workflow tools that either lacked flexibility or required deep technical expertise. So I created something different: a platform powerful enough for developers yet accessible to anyone willing to learn.
The early days were challenging – coding late into the night, questioning if anyone would even want what I was building. But then people started using n8n, sharing workflows, and building on top of what we'd created. The community grew organically, with users pushing the boundaries of what was possible.
Today, we've grown to over 200,000 users and 3,000+ enterprises, with our GitHub repository ranked among the top 150 projects of all time. This incredible growth shows we weren't alone in our frustration with existing tools!
The power of community
What makes n8n different isn't just what it can do – it's how it lets you do it. We've created an experience that respects technical users while welcoming everyone. Our open architecture lets developers extend functionality, while our visual interface makes complex integrations accessible.
n8n has become the trusted solution for government agencies, security teams, and enterprises worldwide. Companies like Vodafone and Delivery Hero, are transforming their operations using n8n, connecting disparate systems and eliminating manual work. But what's most rewarding is seeing our community embrace this approach – sharing templates, helping each other, and expanding what's possible on our platform.
AI + Automation: Where we're headed
If there's one thing I've learned, it's that automation isn't just about connecting systems – it's about augmenting human capabilities. With AI, we're entering a new era where this reaches unprecedented levels.
By integrating AI directly into n8n workflows, users can accomplish tasks that would have been impossible just months ago. Data that was previously too complex to process can now be analyzed automatically. Decisions that required human judgment can now be handled intelligently within workflows.
We believe AI should enhance human capabilities, not replace them. The winning recipe is AI, code and humans. That's why we're building AI features that amplify what users can accomplish, putting them in control of how intelligence is applied in their workflows.
What’s next
The Series B funding will accelerate our mission. We'll expand our team, and continue making powerful automation accessible to everyone.
We’ll also be significantly investing in education for both beginner and advanced users, as well as providing dedicated support and partnering closely with the power users of n8n who are evolving into experts, consultants, and founders of agencies offering their specialized expertise.
The future we envision isn't just about more integrations – it's about fundamentally changing how people interact with technology. It's about creating a world where repetitive tasks disappear, systems talk to each other, and people focus on creative, strategic work.
To our community – thank you. You've been with us every step of the way. This funding round is as much your achievement as it is ours.
To our team – your dedication and passion have built n8n into what it is today. I'm incredibly proud of what we've accomplished together.
And to those who haven't yet tried n8n – I invite you to join us. The future of work is automated, and we're building the tools to make that future accessible to everyone.
This €55 million Series B is not the destination – it's fuel for the journey ahead. A journey toward a world where technology works for people, not the other way around. That's the world we're building at n8n and there is so much more to do!
