We shape our tools, thereafter our tools shape us. - Marshall McLuhan

At Notion, our goal is to create the general purpose work tool for a post-file, post-Microsoft Office world.

My cofounder and I often joke that this was the hot startup topic of the 90s. But conceptually, tools for knowledge workers haven't advanced much since then. The state of art is something like Google Docs, Quip, or Dropbox Paper (which are just multiplayer versions WordPerfect) or rigid SAAS apps (Visual Basic on the web by outsourced IT). To end users, knowledge and workflows are trapped in different silos, and the best people can do is to duct-tape everything together, previously with emails, nowadays perhaps with Slack.

Notion wants to challenge this status quo of software as silos. At the moment, Notion bundles real-time documents, wiki-like organization, lightweight tasks, and a general purpose database/spreadsheet in one tool—but this is just the beginning.
