Founding Story
Notion Labs Inc. was founded in San Francisco in 2013 by Ivan Zhao and Simon Last. The startup struggled for years, prompting Ivan Zhao to lay off staff and relocate to Kyoto, Japan, to rewrite the app. In 2016, they released Notion 2.0, focusing on blocks and databases. The clean aesthetic and customization went viral on TikTok and Twitter. In October 2021, Notion raised funding at a $10 billion valuation, establishing itself as the premier collaborative workspace tool globally.
3 Common Pitfalls Using Notion
The three most-reported gotchas from the community. Read these before you sign up to skip the trial-and-error.
#2Sudden disconnect during collaboration
5+ collaborators saturate weak airports. Pick airports with unlimited-device plans (YunTu, ShunYun, FlyingBird all offer this).
#3Team subscriptions reject domestic cards
Figma Team, Notion Plus, Slack Pro reject domestic cards. Use WildCard or overseas-registered company account.
#4Large file uploads fail
Uploads >50MB fail on weak airports. Pick ≥100 Mbps nodes — YunTu US IPLC hits line speed in tests.
FAQ
