How much funding has n8n raised and what is its valuation?

n8n Series C and Current Status

n8n, the open-source workflow automation platform headquartered in Berlin, closed a $60 million Series C funding round in November 2025 at a reported valuation of approximately $600 million. The round was led by Highland Europe, with participation from existing investors Sequoia Capital and Felicis Ventures.

Funding History

Key Developments Since Series C

AI Agent Nodes

n8n introduced AI agent nodes in 2025 using LangChain integration, enabling workflows to incorporate LLM-based decision-making, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-step AI reasoning. These nodes support multiple AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and open-source models via Ollama. As of March 2026, AI-related workflows account for an estimated 25-30% of new workflow creation on n8n Cloud.

Growth Metrics (as of March 2026)

• Over 60,000 active self-hosted installations (estimated from Docker Hub and npm downloads)
• 3,000+ paid cloud customers
• 800+ community-built integration nodes
• 46,000+ GitHub stars
• Active community forum with approximately 15,000 registered members

Product Updates

• n8n Cloud pricing was adjusted in early 2026, with the Starter plan at $24/month and the Pro plan at $50/month.
• Workflow versioning and Git-based source control were added to the Enterprise tier.
• Sub-workflow improvements including better error handling and parameter passing between parent and child workflows.
• Performance optimizations for handling large data payloads (1M+ records) in self-hosted deployments.

Competitive Positioning

n8n's $600 million valuation places it among the most valuable open-source automation companies. For comparison, Zapier was valued at approximately $5 billion as of its last funding round. Make (formerly Integromat) was acquired by Celonis in 2020 and does not have a standalone valuation. n8n's open-source model and self-hosted option differentiate it from both Zapier and Make, particularly for privacy-conscious organizations and developer teams that prefer infrastructure control.

Use of Funds

n8n indicated that Series C funds would be allocated to:

1. Expanding AI agent capabilities and LLM integrations
2. Growing the enterprise sales team in North America
3. Improving the cloud platform reliability and performance
4. Building out the n8n marketplace for community-contributed nodes

Editor's Note: We run n8n self-hosted for 12 client deployments. Since the AI agent nodes launched, 4 of those 12 clients have built AI-powered workflows (customer support classification, document summarization, lead scoring). The self-hosted installation base continues to grow faster than the cloud customer count, which aligns with n8n's developer-first positioning. The main enterprise barrier remains the lack of a polished admin UI for non-technical operations teams — n8n is still primarily a developer tool.
