History

nCino was founded by a team of bankers in 2011. Since then, nCino's Bank Operating System has expanded beyond commercial banking into small business and retail banking.

In 2013, nCino hosted its first nSight User Conference. In 2017, nCino opened its first international office in London, England. [13] In 2018, nCino expanded to Sydney, Australia. nCino opened an office in Canada, and formed a joint venture to the Japanese market. [14] Also in 2019, the company announced the launch of nCino IQ, an artificial intelligence and machine learning software. [15]

In July 2019, nCino acquired Visible Equity, a financial analytics software company based in Salt Lake City, Utah. [16] In November 2019, nCino acquired FinSuite, a software company based in Melbourne, Australia. [17] In January 2022, nCino closed its acquisition of Utah-based company SimpleNexus, a digital homeownership platform. [18]

Funding and IPO

nCino was originally founded as a majority-owned subsidiary of Live Oak Bancshares, a bank holding company. [19] [20] [21]

In 2013, nCino raised $9 million in investment funding from a group of investors. [22] In 2014, nCino received its Series A investment, a $10 million round, from Wellington Management Company. [23] In February 2015, nCino secured an additional $29 million in a Series B Financing, led by Insight Venture Partners. [24] [25] In 2018, nCino received a $51 million Series C round of venture funding led by Salesforce Ventures. [26] [27] In October 2019, nCino received a raise of $80 million in its Series D round of funding led by T. Rowe Price Associates.

nCino has been a Salesforce partner since its founding in 2012. [28] On June 22, 2020, nCino announced that it had filed a Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The S-1 filing noted that nCino's revenue in fiscal year 2020 was $138 million, up from $91.5 million in fiscal year 2019. [29]

Antitrust and wage suppression investigations

nCino faced antitrust investigations and a lawsuit in 2021. The company filed an SEC Form 8-K in February 2021, stating it received grand jury subpoenas from the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division seeking information on its hiring and wage practices. [34] In March 2021, a class-action lawsuit was filed alleging nCino, Live Oak Bank, and Apiture conspired to avoid hiring each other's employees. [35]

The Department of Justice closed its investigation into nCino's in February 2023, stating there would be no further action taken in the matter. While Live Oak Bank settled the class action lawsuit for $4.65 million in March 2022, nCino did not sign the settlement agreement and continues to repudiate the allegations following the conclusion of the government's investigation. [36] [37]

Insider trading allegations

In September 2022, nCino's majority owner, Insight Ventures, as well as the nCino board members were sued by The City of Hialeah Employee Retirement System for "using nonpublic information about ongoing discussions between nCino and SimpleNexus to substantially increase its investment and ownership interests in SimpleNexus before the transaction took place."
