Notion

The connected workspace for docs, wikis, and projects

FreemiumFree TierFeaturedAdded Mar 1, 2018

About

Notion is a flexible workspace that combines notes, docs, databases, kanban boards, and wikis into a single tool. Its block-based editor lets you build anything from simple to-do lists to complex project trackers and company wikis. Notion databases are its killer feature — they support multiple views (table, board, timeline, calendar, gallery) and relational linking. Notion AI adds writing assistance, summarization, and Q&A across your workspace.

Origin Story

By Ivan Zhao

The Problem

Existing tools forced you to adapt to their structure instead of letting you build the workflow you actually need.

Building It

Founded in 2013, nearly shut down in 2015, relaunched in 2018, grew to $10B+ valuation.

What It Means

Software should be as flexible as Lego — anyone should be able to build what they need.

The Dream

To make software toolmaking as accessible as literacy.
