Revenue doubled while losses held flat.
Irish Times, May 28, 2026Accounts for the year to January 2025 show revenue of $39.6M, up from $19.1M, and a pretax loss of $24.9M against $24.1M.
Growth is outrunning cost. The gap between $39.6M of revenue and a $100M ARR goal shows how much is riding on 2026.
- 02Good
Most open roles are remote.
Tines Greenhouse job board, checked Nov 3, 2026Of 36 roles on Tines' Greenhouse board on Nov 3, 2026, 29 are labeled remote: 22 in the US or North America and 7 in Ireland. The rest are in Boston (some hybrid), Dublin or Sydney.
Remote is real here for sales, support and services. The board shows few core engineering roles right now, so remote odds for engineers are harder to judge.
- 03Neutral
Two headquarters, Dublin and Boston.
Irish Times, Oct 12, 2026; Tines careers pageFounded in Dublin in 2018, Tines calls itself co-headquartered in Dublin and Boston. It plans a new Dublin headquarters and has hubs in Sydney and San Francisco.
Both hubs carry weight. Hybrid roles cluster around Boston and Dublin.

It rebuilt its product from scratch.
Tines blog, Jul 31, 2026Tines 3B, launched July 2026, is code-first and runs beside the original no-code Tines Stories. The CEO wrote that AI-native meant "starting fresh".
A bold bet that keeps Tines ahead of AI rivals if customers move. Running two products at once can stretch a 400-person company.
- 05Good
Adding 200 jobs across two countries.
Enterprise Ireland, Mar 22, 2026; Irish Times, Oct 12, 2026Tines announced 100 US jobs in March 2026, a 42% rise in US staff, then 100 Irish jobs over two years in October 2026, over half entry-level.
A growing company, not a shrinking one. Entry-level hiring in Ireland suggests the Dublin office will keep growing.
- 06Good
A long window to exercise options.
Tines careers page, checked Nov 3, 2026The careers page offers startup equity with an extended exercise window of five years, which starts after two years of employment.
Leaving does not force a fast decision to buy shares, once you pass two years. Before that, the standard window likely applies; check the offer.
- 07Good
Enterprise customers tripled in 2025.
Tines blog, Mar 3, 2026The CEO's March 2026 letter cites landmark deals with SAP and Experian, 357 features shipped and headcount up by over 100 people.
Larger customers mean bigger contracts and longer sales cycles, which fits the many senior sales roles on the board.

Rivals raised big rounds too.
SiliconANGLE, Jan 11, 2026; Tech.eu, Oct 9, 2025Torq raised $140M at $1.2B in January 2026, and general automation firm n8n raised $180M at $2.5B in October 2025.
Tines' $1.125B price is now in line with or below peers, and it has not raised since early 2025.

What has to be true for $1.1 billion to hold?
The starting revenue is Tines's own reported figure. A way to think, not a forecast, and not investment advice.
At 28x, Tines needs $40 million of revenue to be worth $1.1 billion. Your world gets there with $170 million, so the next round likely prices above the last.
$100,000 of equity valued at the $1.13B Series C price would be worth about $422,320 on paper in this world, before dilution from new rounds, taxes and vesting. Private shares only turn into cash at a sale, an IPO or a tender offer.
A way to think, not a forecast, and not investment advice.
Goldman Sachs, Feb 2025; Irish Times, May 2026The signals, and which way they push.
- TailwindFirms want control over AI agents.
Tines pitches 3B on governing AI-built apps and agents, citing an IBM figure that 77% of firms say AI adoption outpaces their governance.
- TailwindExisting customers keep expanding.
Net revenue retention of 122% to 124% and LLM feature use up 302% in a year.
- TailwindHeadcount is rising fast.
More than 400 staff by May 2026, against an average of 220 in the year to January 2025, with 200 more jobs announced.
- HeadwindCrowded, well-funded field.
Torq ($1.2B), n8n ($2.5B) and large platforms such as Palo Alto Networks and ServiceNow all sell automation to the same buyers.
Where Tines ends up, if we had to bet.
Our calls, not facts. Each one is tied to something that already happened, so you can judge the reasoning.
