⚡ UiPath is likely to be the greatest ever European venture bet.

This Romanian enterprise software company was recently valued at $35bn in its Series F funding round.

UiPath offers an end-to-end platform for automation, combining the leading Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solution with a full suite of capabilities and techs like AI, Process Mining, and Cloud to enable every organization to rapidly scale digital business operations.

Digital East, Seedcamp and Credo led a $1.6m seed round in 2015. According to some calculations this will become roughly around $3.5bn depending on what the final IPO price turns out to be.

That is what I call a HOME RUN return!
