Celonis

Celonis SE was founded in 2011 by Alex Rinke, Bastian Nominacher, and Martin Klenk, and is headquartered in Munich, Germany, with a co-headquarters in New York. The company develops enterprise software for process intelligence, using data mining and AI to create digital representations of business operations and surface inefficiencies at scale.

The Celonis Platform (previously called the Execution Management System) ingests event data from enterprise systems such as SAP, Salesforce, and ServiceNow to reconstruct how processes actually run, identify bottlenecks, and recommend or automate corrective actions. The company serves more than 5,000 enterprise customers across manufacturing, financial services, and retail, reporting $6.5 billion in realized customer value. Celonis signed the first SAP Startup Focus reseller agreement in 2015 and has acquired Make (formerly Integromat) in 2020 and Lenses.io in 2021.

Celonis has raised approximately $1.77 billion in total funding, reaching a $13 billion valuation in its August 2022 Series D extension led by Qatar Investment Authority. The company employs more than 3,000 people globally across offices in Munich, New York, Madrid, and roughly 14 other locations. It ranked third on the Fortune Future 50 list in 2025 and is widely cited as an IPO candidate.
