Berlin-based n8n is shaking up the $24 billion workflow automation industry with its innovative “fair-code” platform, blending the agility of no-code tools with the power of custom coding—now enhanced by AI. This approach helps technical teams handle complex, high-volume workflows without relying on cumbersome, costly in-house development.

The company recently closed a €55 million funding round led by Highland Europe, with participation from HV Capital, Sequoia, Felicis, and Harpoon, bringing total funding beyond €68 million. The fresh capital will fuel product innovation, expand monitoring tools, and accelerate n8n’s growth in engineering, product, and market reach, including new offices in London and New York.

Founded in 2019 by Jan Oberhauser, n8n empowers over 3,000 enterprises to automate mission-critical workflows by combining AI integrations, custom code, and human oversight. Its versatile platform supports industries from customer service to IT and security, streamlining tasks such as onboarding, incident management, and hybrid human-AI collaboration.

Boasting over 400 integrations and a robust GitHub community with 41,000 stars, n8n is celebrated as the “Swiss Army Knife” of automation. Customers like Delivery Hero and Musixmatch report significant time savings, and the platform is trusted by governments and enterprises worldwide.

David Blyghton of Highland Europe highlighted n8n’s rapid adoption of AI, with LLMs involved in over 75% of workflows, underscoring its pivotal role in the future of automation technology.
