About Me

Ivan Zhao is the CEO and original founder of productivity software company Notion, which was last valued at $10 billion. Notion's software is a minimalistic competitor to Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. The software is popular among both business users and consumers. Zhao expects it to hit 100 million users in 2024. Word-of-mouth growth has helped Zhao to keep Notion lean in employee count and profitable. In turn, he has raised about $330 million at low dilution. He owns 30% of the company, Forbes estimates.
