Evernote Clearly Knows How To Make Web Reading, Clipping Easier | TechCrunch
A couple of weeks ago we wrote about Evernote’s new rumored venture round. It was a big one, said one source, putting them in the billion dollar valuation club . Today they’ll officially announce that deal – $50 million in new funding led by Sequoia Capital , with participation from Morgenthaler Ventures . And while they didn’t quite get that billion dollar valuation people were whispering about, the company is still doing quite nicely, thank you. As part of the round, Roelof Botha at Sequoia will join the board of directors. He was previously a board observer.
Evernote Takes $50 million To Become The Anti-Zynga | TechCrunch
It’s unclear how much money Evernote really needs. It said last year that when it raised its last round, it still had $9 million from the $11 million it previously raised. It’s unlikely that it’s burned through all that cash already. So what’s it all being used for?

Ever-Growing Evernote Hits 10 Million Users (425,000 Paying Ones, Too)
Evernote hits 10m users as premium membership takes off — Tech News and Analysis
After taking 992 days to reach 5 million members, Evernote said today it has now hit 10 million members just 208 days later. It has also eclipsed 400,000 premium members, putting the company well on its way toward its goal of 1 million paid users. Evernote hit 5 million users on Nov. 10 last year and was up to 6 million users by the first of the year. It’s since grown by 67 percent in a little over five months to 10 million users with the last million signing up in 32 days.
So how do you make money if you are offering a product that has millions of users and only a small percentage pay for it? But the answer, according to Phil Libin, the CEO of Evernote , is that the money will come if you focus on just keeping your millions of users happy, regardless of whether they pay or not. Libin’s advice and impressive slides were welcomed by a roomful of budding entrepreneurs at The Founder Conference in Mountain View, California Tuesday.
Evernote Shows Startups: ‘Free’ Can Pay | Epicenter | Wired.com
Evernote is a smart phone app that epitomizes the modern day web service. It is used over a variety of devices, it syncs easily between those devices, it augments your daily life in ways not possible before the mobile web, it can be used equally at work or home. In an interview with Evernote CEO Phil Libin, I discovered that the genesis of Evernote is tied in with the Apple Newton - the innovative, but ultimately ahead of its time, Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) from Apple from the late 80's to 90's. In Part 1 of this interview, Phil Libin explains that link to the Newton and how it ultimately led to the "secondary brain" app called Evernote. In Part 2 (to be published tomorrow) we discuss Evernote's ambitious 20-year plan.
The Path From Apple's Newton to Evernote
5 Million Users: We’re gonna need a bigger boat « Evernote Blogcast
Twenty two thousand one hundred and thirty new people joined Evernote yesterday. Seriously. 22,130 . That’s a record and it pushed us over the 5,000,000 user mark!Apparently information capturing and management startup Evernote is seeing quite some early success in Japan only three months after the release of its Japanese-language version. Already, Japan is its second largest market after the United States, Evernote says, representing nearly 15 percent of the service’s daily traffic. Furthermore, over 50,000 books about Evernote in Japanese have already gone over the counter. This popularity is in part due to a number of partnerships with leading Japanese tech companies like Sony, Canon, Fujitsu and more, the company says.
Evernote
Evernote , the ‘memory enhancement’ service that allows one to capture, organize, and find information across multiple devices and platforms, is gaining new users at a fast clip. As you can tell from the graph above, the Mountain View startup needed 446 days to get its first million users , 222 days to get to its second million , and 134 days to get to its third . But it only took Evernote another 108 days to reach the 4 million users milestone, the company is set to announce later today. Chief executive Phil Libin tells me the large majority of its user base is located in the United States, but not overwhelmingly so: about 57%, followed by 18% who hail from Japan, where the startup now boasts an office . A decent number of users comes from Spain, UK and Germany, and more than 12% of its users are located in the ‘rest of the world’.
