n8n Raises $180 Million to Expand AI Agent Orchestration

AI agent startup n8n raised $180 million in a Series C funding round on October 9, 2025, bringing its valuation to $2.5 billion. The round was led by Accel and included participation from Nvidia Corporation's investment arm. Based in Germany, the company provides a platform that enables organizations to develop and deploy agentic AI automations and orchestration.

CEO Jan Oberhauser reported that company revenues grew tenfold over the past year. He attributed this growth to the ability to provide significant cost savings for customers, citing Vodafone as an example. Oberhauser noted that while billions of dollars have flowed into AI investment, many organizations have struggled to find meaningful results.

The investment reflects a broader corporate shift in focus from general generative AI toward more disciplined, agentic AI deployment. Accel highlighted that more than 80% of workflows built on the n8n platform now embed AI agents, effectively expanding the share of work that can be automated.
