Meet Jan Oberhauser, founder and CEO of n8n, the AI workflow automation platform transforming how technical teams build with AI. As a former VFX engineer at academy award-winning studios, Jan spent years orchestrating complex workflows for hundreds of artists, but grew frustrated watching teams struggle with rigid tools and manual processes. This sparked him to build n8n, bringing engineering-grade automation superpowers to every technical team and organization. Today, n8n powers 1.5M+ workflows in production with 600k+ weekly active users worldwide. His distinctive "fair-code" model keeps the platform open and community-driven while ensuring commercial sustainability, making n8n one of the fastest-growing repos on GitHub with 130k+ stars.
