In 2005, Daniel Dines and Marius Tîrcă founded UiPath in Bucharest, Romania under the name DeskOver with a vision to transform how businesses operate through automation. They recognized that organizations were burdened by repetitive, manual tasks that drained human potential and productivity. Starting as a small operation focused on screen scraping and automation libraries, they evolved their approach as they saw the massive opportunity in robotic process automation (RPA) to revolutionize enterprise workflows.
Over nearly two decades, UiPath has grown from a scrappy Romanian startup into a global leader in AI-powered automation and orchestration software. Today, the company's platform enables AI agents, robots, people, and models to work together harmoniously, revolutionizing industries and enhancing human potential worldwide. With a public listing in 2021 and headquarters in New York, UiPath continues to push the boundaries of agentic automation, helping organizations streamline operations and unlock new possibilities for intelligent automation at scale.
