About Notion
Notion is an all-in-one workspace that blends notes, docs, wikis, and project management into a single platform. Founded in 2016 by Ivan Zhao and Simon Last, it pivoted from a failed first attempt to become one of the most influential productivity tools of the 2020s. The company reached a $10 billion valuation in 2021 and has grown to over 30 million users. Its block-based editor and flexible database system allow users to build custom workflows, knowledge bases, and documentation systems without coding.
