n8n is a low-code workflow automation tool that allows you to connect different services together with custom logic (think syncing your CRM with an internal database or allowing companies to easily build Slack bots for their products). We launched 1.5 years ago to a ton of interest, and things have accelerated since then:

📈 With 60m Docker pulls and a huge active user base/community - we're already building global traction

⭐️ With 21k stars, we are now in the top 500 of the 238m projects on GitHub

🌱 We were Sequoia's first seed investment in Germany, and recently raised a $12m Series A round, led by Felicis Ventures

We're on a mission to give technical superpowers to everyone with a computer. Why not help us get there?!
