Notion didn’t have a board until two years ago.
Becoming cash-flow positive early allowed us to raise several rounds of financing without diluting ourselves too much or giving up board seats along the way.
That gave us a rare opportunity: to build our board from scratch, much like you would build an executive team.
Over the past two years, @ivanhzhao and I met with some of our heroes. We’re delighted to share that Jonathan Chadwick, Gretchen Howard, @gradypb, @chrispa, and @pdhsu have joined @NotionHQ's board of directors. (Welcome y'all!)
I spoke with @alexrkonrad to share what we learned through the process. Hope it’s helpful if you ever decide to do this for your own company.

EXCLUSIVE: Notion has appointed a new board of directors in a big step towards an IPO.
I spoke to co-founder @akothari about Notion's unusual board process after a decade-plus without. “How you recruit the right complementary skillset, it’s a fun game."
