Scribe, a workflow automation startup focused on helping companies document internal processes and integrate AI effectively, has raised $75 million in a Series C funding round at a $1.3 billion valuation. The round was led by StepStone, with participation from existing investors including Amplify Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Tiger Global, Morado Ventures, and New York Life Ventures. The company was co-founded by CEO Jennifer Smith, a former consultant at Greylock and McKinsey, and CTO Aaron Podolny. Scribe now offers two core products designed to capture, standardize, and optimize business workflows. Scribe Capture is a browser extension and desktop application that records how expert employees perform tasks in real time. It automatically generates step-by-step documentation with screenshots, text instructions, and context, helping organizations preserve institutional knowledge. This is especially valuable for onboarding, customer support, training, and knowledge transfer. Scribe’s newest product, Scribe Optimize, takes a data-driven approach to improving business operations. It analyzes workflows across a company to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and opportunities for AI integration. By leveraging a database of 10 million documented workflows across 40,000 software applications, Scribe Optimize provides actionable insights and recommendations for automation and process improvement. “AI can't improve what it can't see,” said Smith. “You can't just sprinkle AI into your business and expect it to magically make everything better. The missing ingredient is context and data.” The company now has 120 employees and more than 75,000 customers, including major enterprises like New York Life, T-Mobile, and LinkedIn. According to Scribe, 44% of the Fortune 500 companies use its platform. Smith emphasized that Scribe has been “unusually capital efficient,” having not spent any of the $25 million raised in 2024. The decision to raise now was driven by the need to accelerate the rollout of Scribe Optimize and develop new products to further scale its impact. The funding will support product innovation, team expansion, and broader market adoption. Scribe’s pitch deck, used to secure the Series C round, highlights its mission to solve the core challenge of AI implementation: the lack of visibility into real-world workflows and internal processes.
