Nook Raises $1.75M in Pre-Seed Funding to Take on the Evernotes of the World
Summary
Simply titled Nook, the self-described personal knowledge base thats more than a note-taking app is accepting users as part of a private beta ahead of its official launch. The round was led by Code Cubitt, managing director at Mistral Venture Partners, and additional angel investors in the Silicon Valley and Canadian tech community, including Renegade Ventures (Bessemer scout fund), Louis Kearns and Mohammad Hashemi (former GMs at Shopify), S\xe9bastien Marineau (VP of Software at Apple), Scott Roberts (VP and Head of Business Development at LinkedIn), Jeff Bonforte (Managing Partner at Catapult Capital), Mike Potter (co-founder and CEO of Rewind), and Marc Gingras (CEO of Nook Technologies, Inc.) The Nook team has a proven track record of creating apps that simplify work and make people more productive, said CEO Marc Gingras. In a time when startups of a similar size and stature are struggling to secure capital, this funding round represents a huge vote of confidence from our investors. Were excited to continue building an app that not only helps users capture their thoughts in the moment but provides clarity by organizing all their important information, so they feel less scattered and know what they need to do and remember. Nook is the AI-powered personal knowledge base disguised as a note-taking app that gives busy professionals more clarity at work by capturing, contextualizing, and resurfacing all their notes, action items, and events in one place.
