n8n GmbH

Open-source workflow automation platform combining a visual builder with code flexibility and native AI agent tooling.

n8n was created by Jan Oberhauser and first released publicly in 2019; the company is headquartered in Berlin, Germany. The platform lets technical teams build automated workflows connecting APIs, apps, and AI models through a visual node-based editor that also allows custom JavaScript/Python code, positioning itself between no-code tools like Zapier and fully custom integration code, with strong adoption among developers building AI agent workflows. n8n has raised a total of roughly $254M across five rounds: a $1.5M seed (March 2020) co-led by Sequoia Capital and firstminute capital, a $12M Series A (April 2021) led by Felicis Ventures, a €55M (~$60M) Series B (March 2025) led by Highland Europe, and a $180M Series C (October 2025) led by Accel that valued the company at $2.5 billion.
