Scribe has closed a $75 million Series C funding round at a $1.3 billion post-money valuation as the company rolls out Scribe Optimize, a new platform designed to map workflows across entire enterprises and identify where automation and AI will generate measurable returns. According to TechCrunch, the funding round was led by StepStone, with participation from existing investors Amplify Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Tiger Global, Morado Ventures, and New York Life Ventures.
The new capital comes more than a year after the company raised its $25 million Series B funding, which Scribe has essentially not needed to draw down. The company plans to accelerate the rollout of Scribe Optimize as demand increases among enterprises searching for clarity on where automation and AI can deliver meaningful efficiency and cost savings.
Many organizations are pursuing AI adoption, but continue to struggle with determining which workflows should be automated first. Historically, enterprises have attempted to identify these opportunities through internal interviews, consultant-led workshops, and manual documentation processes that often take months and fail to capture the reality of day-to-day work.
Scribe Optimize is designed to address this gap by mining workflows across teams and software applications to illustrate what work is actually being done, how long it takes, and where automation could yield value. The platform builds on Scribe’s existing product, Scribe Capture, which automatically generates step-by-step workflow guides using a browser extension and desktop app. These guides help new employees ramp faster, reduce repetitive questions, and minimize error rates.
The company reports that users of Scribe Capture save between 35 and 42 hours per person per month and accelerate onboarding times for new hires by 40 percent.
Founded in 2019 by Jennifer Smith and CTO Aaron Podolny, Scribe launched before the generative AI wave, but its core focus on documenting and analyzing workflows has positioned it as enterprises evaluate agent-based automation platforms. While the market contains other workflow documentation tools, Smith noted that Scribe primarily competes with manual recording and observation methods rather than direct product alternatives.
Scribe has documented over 10 million workflows across 40,000 software applications, serving more than 5 million users. The startup reports that teams inside 94 percent of Fortune 500 companies use Scribe, and 78,000 organizations are paying customers, including New York Life, T-Mobile, LinkedIn, HubSpot, and Northern Trust.
The company has more than doubled revenue over the past year and says its valuation has increased fivefold since its last funding round. Scribe currently employs 120 people and plans to double its headcount over the next year. Its largest markets outside the United States include the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and Europe.
