Consistent with UiPath's Culture, Employees Participated in a Partial Liquidity Program to Share in Value Creation
NEW YORK NOVEMBER 14, 2018 UiPath, the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) market leader, has closed an extension of its Series C financing with a strategic investment from IVP, Madrona Venture Group and Meritech Capital. With this extension added to the first closing of the Series C round announced in September, UiPath's Series C financing now totals $265 million at a valuation of $3 billion; it was led by CapitalG and Sequoia Capital.
In addition to bringing in strong partners to support UiPath, the funding extension was created by enabling employees to gain some liquidity. Employees were invited to participate at the same share price that investors received in the round. This fundamental employee benefit is in line with the company's culture and is an example of a benefit that landed UiPath as Comparably's 6th happiest place to work in 2018.
I am honored to have IVP, Madrona Venture Group and Meritech Capital as new investors in UiPath. Their leadership and guidance will no doubt help us continue to define and lead the Automation First era for customers everywhere. UiPath has had many funding options and I believe we have selected the investors that align best with our culture and beliefs. I am humbled as the syndicate of unquestionably top-tier venture capital firms who believe in UiPath and support our future, said UiPath CEO and co-founder Daniel Dines. Additionally, it is a core UiPath principle to share the success of the company in a meaningful way with our hard-working and long-time employees and we were excited to be able to extend the opportunity, at their personal choice, to realize partial liquidity in this round.
In today's heightened environment regarding funding sources and investor quality, UiPath is fully committed to disclosing its sources of capital. Please find details in our investor disclosure blog post here.
