There is one simple truth at the heart of Notion Capital’s investment ethos; we are B2B SaaS entrepreneurs in our own right and we invest solely in B2B SaaS entrepreneurs.

I don’t think it’s an understatement to say “we love founders” and our primary goal in life is to find the very best, invest in them (if our stars align, and if not then wish them well) and then do everything in our power to realise their potential and value, however those are measured.

That singularity of purpose means that while portfolio all have unique needs they also have many shared requirements and that allows us to remain incredibly focused in our efforts.

So, this week we are launching two initiatives that we believe will be critical to creating the B2B SaaS power curve for our founders and their teams:-

• Building our definitive Notion expert network of SaaS advisors, mentors and consultants in Europe.
• Creating a burgeoning body of insight and content from across our ecosystem in the form of blog posts and now podcasts.

Both these initiatives are in their infancy. We are announcing 10 Notion experts this week, but with another 100+ waiting in the wings who are ready to go live and already adding value to our portfolio today.

Notion experts have a number of things in common: they have great expertise – often wide, invariable deep – in particular areas that are critical to companies at different stages; they love what they do and love to work with and help smart people.
