Last week, @NotionHQ passed 100M users!

I found the photo I took after we reached 1000 users.

And I still recall the day when we passed 1M in 2020 right before covid.

I feel grateful, introspective. Looking back, there's so much learning, yet much remains unchanged...

In our early years, we were rather lost.

We started in 2013, but it wasn't until 2018 w/ Notion 2.0 @ProductHunt launch that we saw signs of traction.

We had no business sense, struggled with building a horizontal tool. Notion almost died (thanks for the bridge, mom!)

Gm!
Today @NotionHQ is announcing $275M in new funding led by Coatue & @sequoia, with participation from @Base10Partners @ShineCapitalNYC

You can read details here: forbes.com/sites/alexkonr…

But in this thread, I want to bring it back to why we're here & where we're headed.

1/7 At heart, @NotionHQ has always been a tool company.

We like to describe our mission as two-fold — software toolmaking AND ubiquity.

As a company we need to work on both, missing half is missing the whole.
