100 million people now use Notion

I found the photo I took after we reached 1,000 users. And I still recall the day when we passed 1M in 2020, right before Covid.

In one, we had the right product, but wrong tech stack, so Simon Last & I went to Japan to rewrite (hence our main git repo is “notion-next”).

1B+ people live and work in either Microsoft or Google suite (no real alternatives), and a sea of SaaS fragmentations (too rigid, too uncreative).

It’s gradually coming together, though instead of 15 months, like we imagined in our original pitch deck, it took us 10 years. 😅

Notion hasn’t shipped this well ever—7+ releases this summer—answering our community’s asks fast, with a quality we can be proud of!
