Scribe just raised $75M at a $1.3B valuation to solve the AI deployment problem every founder faces: where to automate first.

What it is: Workflow documentation tool that auto-captures processes via browser extension, now launching Scribe Optimize to map enterprise workflows and identify AI automation opportunities.

The metrics:
• 10M+ workflows documented across 40K software apps
• 5M+ users, 94% of Fortune 500 companies
• 78K paying organizations
• Users save 35-42 hours/month per person
• Revenue doubled year-over-year

How it happened:
• 2019: Started pre-GenAI boom with process documentation
• Built bottom-up adoption (users choose it, not mandated)
• Expanded from capture to optimization as AI demand exploded
• Raised only when needed (barely touched Series B)
• Positioned as AI deployment intelligence, not just documentation

The takeaway: Most companies can't answer "what should we automate first?" Build the data layer that answers strategic questions.
