Overview

Pipefy offers a low-code SaaS platform that lets "citizen developers" create, automate and customize workflows for processes like onboarding, procurement, recruiting, IT requests and expense reimbursement. The product unifies collaboration channels (e.g., Slack, spreadsheets) and can integrate with legacy systems such as ERPs and CRMs to orchestrate complex operations. Pipefy positions itself as a horizontal, industry-agnostic platform used by finance, HR, customer service, procurement and marketing teams and claims to scale from a single team to an entire enterprise. The company reports more than 4,000 corporate customers, has doubled its annual recurring revenue over the past year (no hard figures disclosed) and has grown headcount from 250 to 500. Founded in 2015 and now San Francisco–based with substantial R&D in Brazil, Pipefy says it is “close to unicorn status.” It plans to use new capital to significantly accelerate global expansion, continue hiring globally, and further develop product and go-to-market efforts across LatAm, the U.S., Europe, Africa, the Middle East and APAC. Pipefy provides a self-service Lean Management platform for designing, deploying and measuring digital workflows, targeting managers who need to standardize processes. The software leverages Lean principles to drive RPA deployments and automate repetitive tasks, freeing employees for higher-value work. Pipefy serves customers in over 150 countries and counts enterprises such as IBM and Capgemini among its users. The company was founded in 2015 and is based in San Francisco, with additional offices in Curitiba, Brazil and Austin, Texas. It plans to use new funding to continue product investment and to scale go-to-market operations. Total funding exceeds $65M following the latest round. Pipefy is a San Francisco-based operations excellence platform that helps teams deploy back-office processes without IT support. Led by founder and CEO Alessio Alionco, the company provides a cloud-based platform for departments including customer service, HR, finance, marketing and sales. The solution powers the operations of more than 8,000 companies across 146 countries, spanning small businesses to venture-backed startups and large enterprises. In March 2018 Pipefy raised $16M in a Series A to scale operations and expand its teams in both San Francisco and Brazil. The company intends to use the funds to grow its operations and hire across those locations. As part of the round, Dan Demmer of OpenView joined Pipefy’s Board of Directors.
