Founded in 2003 by Mihir Shukla, Neeti Mehta, Ankur Kothari, and Rushabh Parmani as Tethys Solutions (rebranded 2010), the San Jose company bootstrapped for 15 years before SoftBank led a $300M round in 2018. Today the platform spans RPA, document AI, Process Discovery, Automation Co-Pilot, and AI Agent Studio, all orchestrated through the Mozart agentic system. Gartner named it a Magic Quadrant Leader for RPA seven years running. Cumulative funding tops $1.1B; executives say they remain IPO-ready after shelving the Sep 2024 filing, with private-market marks ranging from roughly $2B to $9B in 2026.

Equity comp at Automation Anywhere

• Long-private RPA company (founded 2003) with multiple IPO false starts; confidentially filed S-1 in September 2024 then delayed amid market conditions and pricing pressure from publicly traded competitor UiPath. SoftBank Vision Fund led the $300M Series B in 2018 (valuation ~$2.6B) and remains the largest backer; subsequent rounds pushed valuation to ~$6.8B in 2019. Prolonged private status makes double-trigger RSU vesting effectively universal to avoid taxing illiquid shares.
