Evernote raises $10 million investment

November 16th, 2009

I’m very happy to report that Evernote just raised $10 million in our “B” round! The lead investor is Morgenthaler Ventures, one of the deans of Silicon Valley venture capital. Troika Dialog and DOCOMO Capital, our “A” round investors, participated as well.

What will we do with the money? We’re going to invest it into making our product better: more platforms, more features, and more polish (we’re working on Polish, too, along with Swedish, Japanese and a dozen other languages). We want Evernote to be your trusted, permanent and ubiquitous electronic memory. This investment gives us the runway to get there.

I’d like to thank our team, who’ve worked amazingly hard to build one of the brightest companies on the Internet today; our investors, for giving us their trust; and, most of all, our awesome community of users. Your voice has helped guide our product, and your enthusiasm for Evernote was a critical factor in our successful fundraising.

Thanks for finding us and thanks for sticking with us. We’re glad you’re along for the ride!

Video: Running a Dairy Farm with Evernote

Website: Ray-Lin Dairy Twitter: @RayLinDairy Where I use Evernote: Windows Evernote Web Windows Mobile

We’re always on the lookout for unexpected ways that people are using Evernote. When we heard about California dairy farmer Ray Prock and his Evernote use, we had to see it for ourselves.

On our recent visit to his family farm, not only did we get a tour of the dairy, but we also learned about the critical role Evernote plays in keeping everything running. Ray, like lots of business owners, has the huge task of managing enormous amounts of information. In his Evenote account, Ray captures information on his cows, including their numbers, treatments and feed details. He also keeps track of his maintenance needs, supplies, notes from meetings, and remaining tasks.

Check out the video below to get a peek at our visit to Ray Lin Dairy.

Use Evernote to clip reviews, prices and features. Have all your research and necessary info in one place; fully searchable (with links) to help you make the right decision. When you get to the store you can pull up all that great research on your mobile phone.
