Runa Capital's co-founder and co-chairman Sergeui was featured last week in GP Bullhound's Titan's of Tech 2020 report. He founded the cybersecurity company Acronis in 2003 and, after several years away from da...y-to-day operations, he returned as its CEO in 2013. Since then he has led the company to become a unicorn.

We are also proud to see our portfolio companies Mambu and smava GmbH appear in the same report among the contenders, the European companies with the most potential to become a billion-dollar company.

When concerns about the novel coronavirus — and subsequent changes in activity — are not bringing productivity to a halt (and perhaps especially in times of needing to be as efficient as possible), one of the b...igger IT trends has been a push to streamline how people work by creating better integrations between the different apps that they use. Today, a startup out of Berlin, Germany is announcing seed funding to help it enter the fray of those that are helping make those integrations happen seamlessly and more reliably.

n8n, a Berlin-based company that has built a "fair code" workflow automation platform to let developers quickly integrate any of the apps that they use to work together automatically — from standard third-party APIs to internal tools created by developers themselves — has picked up a seed round of $1.5 million to continue building out its service, and specifically to introduce its first commercial elements after announcing its existence last October and meeting an unexpected surge of interest.

"I was surprised, but it seems like people were waiting for me," Jan Oberhauser, n8n’s founder and CEO, said in an interview, who added that n8n has picked up "a lot of traction" so far.

The investment is being co-led by UK's firstminute Capital and Sequoia, with participation also from Runa Capital, Tiny VC and System.One, as well as Kevin Hartz, co-founder of Eventbrite & Xoom, Ilkka Paananen, co-founder of Supercell, and Nan Li and Daniel Liem of Obvious Ventures (individually, not via Obvious).

Within that pretty impressive list, investment represents a significant step in particular for Sequoia, as it is the storied firm’s first seed investment in Germany amid a much bigger push into the region. The Silicon Valley VC has been quietly putting down roots in the European market over the last several months, including scouting for talent and local deals. The first hire in that process was announced this week: Luciana Lixandru, poached after years at Accel, is the firm's first European partner, but for now this isn’t extending to raising a local fund.
