Claims

  • [verified]

    Founded in 2019 by Jan Oberhauser, headquartered in Berlin, Germany

    Wikipedia gives October 2019; the n8n blog itself says 'since 2019.'

    en.wikipedia.org

  • [verified]

    Raised $180M Series C in October 2025, led by Accel, at a $2.5B valuation ($240M total raised to date)

    Confirmed on n8n's own blog and cross-checked against Wikipedia's funding-round table.

    blog.n8n.ioen.wikipedia.org

  • [verified]

    ARR above $40M in 2025, with roughly 10x revenue growth and 6x user growth year over year

    n8n's own Series C post states '6x user growth' and '10x revenue growth'; Wikipedia adds the specific '$40M ARR' figure attributed to the same period.

  • [verified]

    SAP strategic investment in May 2026 doubled n8n's valuation to $5.2B

    Confirmed directly by n8n and independently by tech.eu.

    blog.n8n.iotech.eu

  • [thin]

    SAP invested roughly EUR 60M (~$60M) specifically

    tech.eu explicitly reports the investment amount was undisclosed; a specific EUR 60M+ figure appears only on Wikipedia without a primary citation. Treat the dollar figure as unconfirmed even though the resulting valuation is solid.

  • [thin]

    1.7 million monthly active builders and 1,400+ enterprise customers, including Fortune 500 companies

    Self-reported by n8n in its own announcement; no independent corroboration found.

    blog.n8n.io

  • [verified]

    n8n supports 1,000+ (currently 2,053) integrations

    Directly observed on n8n's own integrations page, which lists 2,053 integrations, exceeding the '1,000+' figure cited in secondary coverage.

    n8n.io

  • [contradicted]

    Current company-wide headcount

    Sources are wildly inconsistent and none is authoritative: LinkedIn's self-reported band is 51-200 employees, GetLatka cites ~67, Owler estimates 100-250, Revelio Labs claims 923 (Dec 2025), and Tracxn claims 1,104 (Jun 2026). No fetched source ties a single reliable figure to the whole company, so this is listed as a gap rather than given a confident verdict.

  • [plausible]

    n8n plans to reach roughly 1,000 total employees by 2029 (implied from its goal of 200 UK-based staff = 'one in five' of the workforce)

    FORECAST, not current fact: this is a 2029 hiring target stated by CEO Jan Oberhauser during London Tech Week 2026, not a present headcount.

Gaps

  • No reliable, source-consistent figure for n8n's current total employee headcount as of August 2026.
  • Exact SAP investment dollar amount not disclosed by n8n or press; only the resulting $5.2B valuation is confirmed.
  • No independent (non-n8n) confirmation of the 1.7M monthly active builders or 1,400+ enterprise customers figures.
