Nintex was founded in 2006 in Bellevue, Washington, and has since grown into a major player in the business process automation space. The company initially focused on workflow automation but expanded its portfolio through strategic acquisitions, including the acquisition of AssureSign in 2021, which became Nintex eSign. This acquisition allowed Nintex to enhance its digital transformation offerings by incorporating electronic signature capabilities into its broader automation suite.
Nintex has experienced significant growth over the years, driven by its ability to help organizations automate complex workflows and improve operational efficiency. With a focus on continuous innovation and customer-centric solutions, Nintex has expanded its product offerings globally.
Nintex is a privately held company backed by private equity firms such as Thoma Bravo and TA Associates, which have made substantial investments in the company to fuel its growth. While specific funding rounds for Nintex eSign are not publicly detailed, Nintex as a whole has received significant financial backing to support its acquisitions and expansion initiatives.
In 2018, Nintex was reportedly valued at around $2 billion following TA Associates' investment. Since then, the company has continued to grow through acquisitions and product development, likely increasing its valuation further.
