Workato

Workato, founded in Mountain View, CA, in 2013 by several IPO-laden technologists, was created to help enterprises connect and optimize the sea of point solutions they’ve accumulated. The company vision was always equal parts integration—a connect anything to anything mantra—and automation— execute and orchestrate trigger-driven workflows enabled by integration. Now, seven years, 7,200 customers, and $111 million in funding later, Workato has evolved into the “glue” that helps its customers work across applications and automate tasks and processes.
