UiPath, a NYC-based enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software company, raised $153m in Series B funding.
The round was led by Accel with participation from new investors CapitalG and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and seed investors Earlybird’s Digital East Fund, Credo Ventures and Seedcamp. In conjunction with the funding, Accel Partner Rich Wong will join UiPath’s board of directors.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate its product roadmap, particularly innovations that integrate machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms within customers’ digital business operations and continue expansion of its global operations with new offices in Amsterdam, Houston, Munich, Paris, Seoul and Washington D.C. this quarter.
