About Notion
A workspace that also reports on itself.
Notion was founded in San Francisco in 2013 by Ivan Zhao and Simon Last, with the current product shipping from August 2016 onward. A $275 million Series C in October 2021 valued the company at $10 billion, and Notion reports over 100 million users and 62 percent of Fortune 100 companies on the platform, alongside customers like OpenAI, Figma and Ramp. The product is built from a small set of blocks that stack into pages, databases, wikis, projects, calendars and more recently Notion Mail and AI agents.
What makes Notion interesting to report on is exactly what makes it hard to govern: every team's workspace is user-defined. A sales team's CRM database, a product team's roadmap, an HR team's onboarding wiki and a support team's playbook all live in the same tool with different shapes. Pulling Notion into a warehouse turns that sprawling workspace into something auditable. You can finally answer which databases have owners, which pages no one has touched since 2022, and which internal wiki the rest of the company links to.
