Startup n8n grew from $350m to $2.3bn in 4 months - investors just couldn't resist
German AI startup n8n, which develops software for automating business tasks with the help of AI agents, has increased its valuation almost 7 times in 4 months - from $350 million to $2.3 billion. The funding round was led by venture capital giant Accel, beating such players as Insight Partners in the race. Meritech Capital is also expected to participate.
Here's What We Know
Bloomberg sources claim that hundreds of millions of euros are being invested in the company, and that's even before the final valuation (pre-money). In other words, the figure could get even higher after the infusion of money.
n8n sells open source software that allows companies to automate processes using AI without having to write code. What makes the platform special is its focus on AI agents: these are the kind of "digital employees" who can perform tasks on their own, from processing orders to generating reports.
Why it's interesting
The company was founded in 2019, and back in the spring of 2025 it was valued at €300m when it received funding from Highland Europe. Since then, n8n has signed major customers, including Vodafone and Delivery Hero SE, and has more than quintupled annual revenue to $40m.
Amid the boom of AI startups in Europe (Mistral AI, Helsing, Lovable), n8n's success confirms: if you automate boring tasks without requiring you to write code, venture capital funds will shower you with money.
