Tines is an intelligent workflow automation platform designed for security, IT, infrastructure, engineering, and product development teams, enabling them to connect tools, automate tasks via APIs, and deploy AI agents for secure, scalable operations.[1][2][4] It solves the problem of repetitive "muckwork," fragmented tools, and understaffed teams by providing no-code/low-code automation that integrates AI, reduces alert fatigue, and operationalizes workflows—trusted by enterprises like Canva, Coinbase, Databricks, GitLab, Mars, and Reddit.[2][3][4] Founded in 2018 in Dublin, Ireland, Tines has raised $271.1M total, including a $125M Series C in February 2025 at a $1.125B valuation, signaling strong growth momentum amid rising demand for AI-driven security and IT efficiency.[1][2]
Tines was founded in 2018 by Eoin Hinchy (CEO) and Thomas Kinsella, both former senior security operators who endured chronic pain points like excessive workloads, staff shortages, and inevitable incidents in security teams.[3] Drawing from over a decade in cybersecurity operations, they built Tines as a "laser-focused solution" to automate workflows and bridge gaps between people and systems.[3] Early traction came from addressing real-world security automation needs, evolving into a broader platform for IT and operations, with pivotal recognition like Fast Company's Next Big Things in Tech list in 2025 for its AI innovations.[2]
Tines rides the wave of AI orchestration and agentic automation in cybersecurity and IT, where exploding tool sprawl, alert overload, and AI hype demand secure, human-augmented workflows.[2][4] Timing is ideal post-2025 funding boom, as enterprises prioritize "real business value" from AI amid regulatory pressures and talent shortages—market forces like rising cyber threats and hybrid work amplify this.[1][2] It influences the ecosystem by enabling non-technical teams to deploy AI safely, transforming security ops (e.g., SOAR-like capabilities without complexity) and fostering productivity in underserved areas like business units.[1][3][4]
Tines is poised to dominate as the foundation for agentic enterprises, expanding beyond security/IT into full organizational AI with features like autonomous agents and Workbench driving adoption.[2][4] Trends like AI governance, low-code proliferation, and zero-trust automation will propel it, potentially unicorn-scaling via global enterprises seeking "future-proof" workflows.[1][2] Its influence may evolve to redefine work by eliminating repetitive tasks, empowering smaller teams to punch above their weight—validating the founders' vision of breaking systemic barriers for good.
Tines has raised $276.0M across 6 funding rounds. Most recently, it raised $130.0M Series C in February 2025.
