Suter: Notion.ai is using email as a platform, not the goal

“Mark was actually the original investor from Sequoia that invested in LinkedIn when they were less employees than we are now. And so we've got somebody on our board that was on LinkedIn's board for like eight years, and he's, his experience that he's brought t…”
