How leading startups use Notion

Substack

It helps keep us all aligned around the core mission of enabling a creative renaissance by helping writers flourish and can serve as a source of truth for our philosophies and plans for how to make that happen.

We use Notion as our operating system for everything, from engineering specs to new hire onboarding. Our team tripled in size this past year, and Notion allowed us to keep all information central and quickly accessible.
