Hear what a a few YC alumni have to say about using Notion -

  • "Not everyone is an expert at creating visually appealing docs. We rely on Notion's formatting to keep our content consistent and easy to understand." - Meltem Kuran, Head of Growth @ Deel (W19)

  • "Our old engineering wiki was a mess and barely updated, which was almost worse than no one using it. Now that it's on Notion — along with rest of our work and planning — it's easy to use it every day." - Vijay Iyengar, Director of Product @ Mixpanel (S09)

  • "We log notes from every single customer conversation, user interview, or feedback session into a consolidated Notion workspace so we can ensure we’re building products based on customer needs." - Frank Lee, Co-Founder & CEO @ Inari (S23)
