n8n is an open-source, node-based workflow automation platform founded in 2019 by Jan Oberhauser, based in Berlin, Germany. The platform combines no-code visual flow building with the flexibility to embed custom JavaScript or Python code, enabling highly customizable automations across 500+ app integrations. Available both self-hosted and via cloud, n8n emphasizes transparency with its fair‑code license, empowering technical teams—particularly developers and operations groups—to build enterprise-grade workflows without sacrificing control or security.

In March 2025, n8n closed a Series B round of €55 million ($60M) led by Highland Europe (alongside HV Capital, Sequoia, Felicis, and Harpoon), bringing total funding to around $73M and valuing the company at roughly €250M ($270M). The company has grown rapidly—reporting around 200,000 active users, over 3,000 enterprise customers, and experiencing a five‑fold increase in ARR within a year. n8n is now also in investor talks for a new funding round that could lift its valuation to over $1.5 billion, signaling strong confidence in Europe’s AI-enabled workflow platforms.
