Everybody uses Notion

When we started Notion Rooms we did it after realising that so many companies and startups are using Notion already as their central system. All of their files, policies, processes are already documented in Notion.

Notion had approximately 30 million users in 2023 according to Notionyou. That's up from just few million in 2019 and the growth is not looking to slow down any time soon. Yet, it lacks a native virtual dataroom ("VDR") solution. Most interestingly, according to Trends Built With the millennials and Gen Z dominate Notions user base with 63% of the total users on the platform, suggesting that it is the newer generation that is really finding Notion.

There is no alternative VDR for Notion

Why then would you set up a third party virtual dataroom such as Intralinks, Digify, Datasite, Ansarada or any of the other dataroom providers for sharing files with a third party? They are great and excellent at what they do but do require that someone 'sets them up'. And if your files happen to be in Notion, what do you do? Create word files and excel files of your Notion pages and upload them to a third party dataroom? We didn't think that's best when you already have everything under one place in Notion.

Sure, you can always try to use Notion as a dataroom by setting up a Notion page, then including pages for financials, team, shareholders etc. and and then invite people to that Notion page one by one. In fact, that's how many people do it already if they insist on sticking to Notion. But by doing so they simply won't get any features that you'd expect from a typical dataroom. Have people accessed the data room? What are they doing there? Which files they are spending most of their times on? Completely opaque to you as the dataroom owner.

Notion is flexible with >20,000 templates to use for your VDR

Notion is super easy to use. Almost anyone can use Notion from the get-go and start creating beautifully formatted content without a learning curve and without the need to know coding.

As such, there exists an incredible ecosystem around Notion today with >20,000 ready made templates out there made by people who simply ♥ Notion. Many good templates around datarooms as well that you can start using and then just plug into Notion Rooms for full VDR functionality.

Notion Room has all the features you'd expect

That's why we created Notion Room. Having worked in PE/VC ourselves for long time, and seen how so many startups and companies are defaulting to Notion, it felt silly to not have a dataroom alternative built just for Notion.

Notion Room is fully integrated to Notion. We've done incredible engineering which looks like magic to allow you connect your existing Notion page(s) in your own environment to Notion Room and create your own dataroom. It just works. And takes less than 10 seconds to set up. And it has all the features you'd expect in a virtual dataroom.

You can either keep it open for everyone or require a password. Or have it fully exclusive and only invite the people you wish to invite. We'll send the email for you.

Once set up Notion Rooms tracks all visit and gives you useful analytics on what people are doing in your data room, just like any typical dataroom software would. It will allow you to stay on top of people and instantly know who is interested in your business based on their activity.

We built Notion Rooms to serve the start-up and PE/VC community that is increasingly moving towards using Notino as their primary workspace. There is a lot of work to be done, but we hope you enjoy using it as much we have enjoyed building it.
