- n8n has grown ARR 5x in the past year and tripled its user base in the last three months, earning the trust of governments and enterprises like Vodafone, Delivery Hero, and Musixmatch,
- Funding fuels global growth, with new offices in New York and London, and strengthens n8n’s thriving community
Berlin, March 2025: n8n – the AI workflow automation platform for technical teams – has raised €55 million in Series B funding led by Highland Europe with participation from HV Capital and previous investors Sequoia, Felicis, and Harpoon. Following a year of explosive growth, n8n has surpassed 230,000 active users and grown ARR 5x in the last year. This funding will accelerate enterprise expansion and bolster n8n’s thriving community, ranked among the top 150 GitHub projects of all time.
Redefining the automation stack: AI, code, and human expertise
Jan Oberhauser founded n8n in 2019 to build the last automation tool technical teams would ever need — one that removed the limitations of traditional workflow automation. What started as an ambitious vision quickly attracted a passionate community of technical users, who, for the first time, felt truly unrestricted, like they had the power of a 10x developer.
Most tools in the $24bn workflow automation space struggle with complex, high-volume workflows, forcing teams to rely on in-house development and custom scripting, both time-intensive and difficult to maintain. n8n breaks this cycle with its fair-code platform giving technical teams the best of both worlds: the flexibility of code and the speed of no-code, combined with the power of AI.
n8n powers mission-critical workflows for more than 3,000 enterprises, enabling them to seamlessly integrate any LLM, combine it with custom code steps, and incorporate human-in-the-loop mechanisms that maintain control and compliance. This unique approach allows organizations to retain complete control over their automation and AI infrastructure.
Across industries, n8n is transforming operations with practical applications: Customer service teams are creating hybrid workforces where humans and AI agents collaborate seamlessly. IT teams are automating HR tasks like employee onboarding/offboarding, saving millions in operational costs. Security teams are responding faster to threats through automated incident management. Beyond enterprise, tech-savvy enthusiasts are creating personal workflows for everyday needs—from keeping their gardens properly watered to building personal assistants.
Impact and community at the core
Dubbed the “Swiss Army Knife” of workflow automation platforms, n8n has become the trusted solution for government agencies, security teams, and enterprises worldwide. Offering both cloud and self-hosting deployment for maximum control, it has empowered companies such as Delivery Hero to save 200 hours a month with n8n, Musixmatch to save 47 days of engineering work in four months and Bordr to scale its business exponentially.
