Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted October 19, 2010 Level 5* Share Posted October 19, 2010 See the latest Evernote blog. Here's hoping that we'll be seeing even better things from Evernote, when they're ready, of course. In an unrelated note, I'll be visiting San Francisco and Yosemite starting tomorrow -- think I'll be able to see the mound of cash from the air as I fly in? ~Jeff Link to comment
BurgersNFries 2,407 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! Evernote is now Super Bowl worthy!!! Just curious...are your servers going to be able to handle the traffic starting late Feb 6th, since everyone will be going to your website to see the commercials that were too racy to air on national tv???Congratulations!!!

engberg 89 Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks!We received a really great investment offer based almost entirely on how loyal (and attractive) our users are. The offer was too good to refuse, but we plan to be smart with the money to make sure that it's spent well to keep increasing the value for our current and future customers.I.e. we won't be doing anything quite as flashy as a SuperBowl ad any time soon, but we hope to keep staffing up on important projects and investing in equipment and infrastructure that will keep Evernote rock solid for the next 5-50 million users.

sterlingz 7 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Congrats - this is huge news. It certainly feels like a major vote of confidence in the platform that we all want to succeed. Can't wait to see how you leverage the investment. Link to comment
C.Noize 2 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Congratulations, and thank you very much, for your plans to invest some of this money to build a bureau in Germany. As a germany user, this could only be a good thing for me. May i ask what the bureau is for? Is it just marketing? Link to comment
engberg 89 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I didn't hear anything about Germany. I know that we have hired someone in Switzerland who will be doing a few different things to help us in Europe. Link to comment
C.Noize 2 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Well, apparently Phil Libin told the german press agency (dpa), that Evernote wants to set up a bureau in Germany.However. I'm pleased to see, that you are expanding in other markets all over the world. Link to comment
engberg 89 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I haven't even seen Phil in about a month, actually ... he's been on the road, expanding our international presence (and eating very very well, I hear).http://twitter.com/plibin Link to comment
Philip Constantinou 11 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Oh yeah. Eating quite well. Still in Tokyo but off to Osaka over the weekend for some meetings (a clever excuse), a meet-up with our users (the real reason) and some amazing food (the real, real reason). Finally back to the office on Monday after a month in Asia. Will take a week to stop bowing to everyone.Thanks to everyone on the forum for the support and kind words! As Dave said, the value of our company is based entirely on the support of our users.I did say that we're considering opening up an office Germany, but we haven't finalized any plans yet. I'll head over there to investigate, and maybe eat something. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Level 5* Share Posted October 21, 2010 Germany? How about Maine? We have good food in Maine, too: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/16/dining/16chefs.html?_r=1~Jeff Link to comment
engberg 89 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 And from what I recall of my weekend in Portland (Me), you also have some fantastic brewed beverages. Link to comment
Level 5* jefito 5,589 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Level 5* Share Posted October 21, 2010 They do pretty well with brewing there, it's true. How long ago were you there?~Jeff Link to comment
engberg 89 Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 Spent a weekend maybe 6-7 years ago when I lived in Cambridge, MA. Did the lighthouse, museum, Winslow Homer, etc. The old waterfront area is great. Link to comment
