Berlin-based n8n, an AI workflow automation platform for technical teams, has raised €55 million in Series B funding to accelerate its product roadmap and open new offices in New York and London this year.
The funding round was 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 200k active users and grown ARR 5x in the last year.
Jan Oberhauser, Founder and CEO of n8n, said: “Automation shouldn’t be a black box – companies need transparency, customisation and cost efficiency. With n8n, we’ve built more than a platform; we’ve built a community that loves and relies on us. From individual contributors to global enterprises, n8n gives everyone the powers of a 10x developer which is vital given the explosion of AI in the workplace. We’re redefining what AI-powered automation and workflows are capable of.”
Jan Oberhauser founded n8n in 2019 as a workflow automation platform that combines AI capabilities with business process automation, giving technical teams the flexibility of code with the speed of no-code. With 400+ integrations and fair-code principles, n8n is innovating how businesses connect their systems and processes.
According to n8n, most tools in the €22.1 billion 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 looks to break 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 3k 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 approach, says n8n, allows organisations 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.
Offering both cloud and self-hosting deployment for maximum control, n8n has reportedly empowered companies such as Delivery Hero to save 200 hours a month, Musixmatch to save 47 days of engineering work in four months, and Bordr to scale its business exponentially.
David Blyghton, General Partner at Highland Europe, said: “n8n has built something truly special — an amazing team, an engaged and rapidly growing community, and a product that is redefining automation. With LLM integrations now representing over 75% of workflows, the company is enabling developers to leverage AI in practical business use-cases, from ITOps & SecOps, through to sales automation. We’re excited to support n8n as they continue their journey to shape the future of automation.”
With this new funding, n8n will accelerate its product roadmap, focused on expanding tools for business-critical workflows and enhancing monitoring and observability features to streamline the journey from prototype to production.
The investment will also fuel significant team growth across engineering, product, and go-to-market functions while continuing to foster the thriving community through events and education. New offices will open in New York and London this year, positioning n8n to better serve its rapidly growing enterprise customer base worldwide.
