This is really interesting because already a lot of startups are using the platform as a way to you know, organize all of their information
Actually, we've got one use case from the startups from Christine tan from deal deal is a payment service
And as you can imagine they're using it to organize how they work as a team
So here's a little snippet from how Christine and her team are using notion right now
Deals are payments and compliant solution that helps pay your remote team wherever they are
so we do the streamlined compliant simple payments and automated invoicing and doesn't matter where your team is faced because
You do it internationally
There's also a lot that goes into this which is why we use motion to organize everything with an ER team
Everything is always accessible and viewable among team members and for me women compliance
It allows them to store our when a one-dog legal notes policy notes and more
We also have pages for product marketing sales and HR
Product will use notion to track things like but it's also I'll keep and create product documentation
We use this to track feedback from users and it's also where the product team will keep their meeting minute
Marketing, we'll have coffee content growth ideas in their page and then sales will
Use notion to keep track of leads. Hold our email drafts and sale sequences
and the HR team is really important because it's accessible but everyone which allows us to make sure that our team values are seeing and
Because of our remote this is really important for us policies around vacation and expenses. They're there and
We can also learn about where other team members are and a little bit about them as well
I also like to use the personal limits section which allows me to just throw in random
It's been a call or a meeting to have something on record of what we spoke about and I don't need to think about
Organizing it into the whole team notion
And then yeah, that's a quick summary of what we use notion boards your deal now
I definitely think this is an exciting move from notion introducing it into
Students and educators for free and now introducing it for you know small tech startups larger tech startups
And introducing that thousand dollar discount is pretty impressive
They were also trying to capture those individuals that are growing pretty rapidly and it's exciting. They're offering it now
I will be trying to get more startups on to share how they are using notion. I believe this week tomorrow

Arcade and he does an amazing tour of how he and his team are kami uses notion

You can find out more details on the what's new page, but this is great news
Now one of the things that a lot of people have been struggling with is the speed of the mobile applications
whilst I haven't and tested this dramatically I have noticed a gradual improvement in speed from
Updating to this latest version
Although I guess time will tell about how that experience will go. It's really it's important that they believe lagged
It is something that has been an issue has been a major issue and they're looking to work on things like reliability
