About Workato

Workato is a leading automation and integration platform that empowers businesses to streamline their operations through no-code and low-code solutions. With an impressive annual recurring revenue (ARR) of $150 million in 2023, marking a 36% increase from the previous year, Workato has established itself as a trusted partner for major enterprises like AT&T, Atlassian, and GitLab. The platform enables users to create automated workflows, known as "recipes," connecting over 500,000 pre-configured solutions across various operational areas, including HR, marketing, and finance.

Valued at $5.70 billion in 2021, Workato has raised $415 million in funding, attracting notable investors such as Altimeter Capital and Battery Ventures. The company primarily generates revenue through software subscriptions, which account for approximately 80% of its income, while the remaining 20% comes from services like onboarding and support. This subscription-based model allows organizations to tailor their integration needs based on the number of applications and users.

What sets Workato apart from competitors like Salesforce's MuleSoft is its commitment to accessibility, enabling both technical and non-technical users to harness the power of automation. As the demand for enterprise automation continues to grow, Workato is well-positioned to expand into adjacent markets, including embedded integration platforms and AI-powered automation, ensuring its relevance in the evolving technology landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions

How would the investment be structured?

When investment opportunities become available for Workato, they would typically be structured through US-based, bankruptcy-remote Delaware SPVs. As an investor, you would become a limited partner in a fund that indirectly holds shares of the company. This page is for expressing interest in future opportunities, not for making actual investments.

Why can't I invest in Workato directly?

Direct investment into high-demand private companies like Workato often requires $50M+ in capital. Our SPV structure gives you access at lower minimums by pooling capital and investing through intermediaries that already hold equity.

What is the minimum investment amount?

The minimum investment typically starts from $10,000, though it may vary depending on the deal size and available allocations.

When will I receive units for my investment?

Once the SPV is fully funded and the shares are secured, units will be allocated to your account and you'll be notified. This typically takes 2–3 weeks post close date.

What are the exit options or liquidity paths?

Liquidity is not guaranteed. However, exits may occur through the following avenues:
(a) resale through our partner's Alternative Trading System (ATS) after a holding period,
(b) secondary market transactions,
(c) a future IPO of Workato or its subsidiaries, or
(d) an acquisition of the company.

What are the risks of investing in Workato?

Key risks include equity risk (share value decline) and liquidity risk (limited tradability of private shares). As with any private market investment, capital loss is possible.

What are the tax implications?

Taxation is treated the same as investing in US-listed stocks. Long-term capital gains (after 24 months) are taxed at 12.5%. Short-term gains are taxed as per your income tax slab.

Under which regulatory framework does this investment fall?

All investments are made through SEC-compliant SPVs under Regulation S. The structure is similar to those used by leading US platforms like EquityZen and Forge.
