California-based Bardeen.ai was launched with its mission to become a productivity tool to automate repetitive tasks and control web apps from anywhere. Yesterday it was announced its oversubscribed $15.3 million Series A funding round led by global software investor Insight Partners, with participation from existing investors 468 Capital and FirstMark Capital.
Over the last decade, there has been an explosion of workplace collaboration tools such as Slack, Zoom, Google Sheets, Airtable, Notion, ClickUp and hundreds of others that have become increasingly important in remote and hybrid working realities. However, users have often been left with the time-consuming and mind-numbing task of constantly switching between those apps and moving data across them, many times each day. With Bardeen, users can automate these tasks to maximize efficiency and create space to focus on real work.
Bardeen’s easy-to-use platform helps orchestrate repetitive workflows across apps. Users simply download the Bardeen browser extension and select from a broad range of pre-built automations the tasks they want to automate, such as copying information from apps into a spreadsheet, scraping data from the web, and reminding participants about an upcoming meeting. They can also create their own custom automation workflows or modify pre-built ones to fit their exact needs. Since its launch, Bardeen has grown its monthly active user base by 4x to more than 20,000.
With this latest funding round, Bardeen has raised a total of $18.8 million from leading technology investors to help accelerate its mission to bring automation to everyone.
