Evernote is a note-taking and task-management application developed by the Evernote Corporation. Evernote was founded in 2007 by Russian entrepreneur Stepan Pachikov. The company released the first public version of the Evernote web application on June 24, 2008. The service gained popularity for its ability to synchronize notes across multiple devices and platforms, allowing users to capture and organize information such as text, images, and web content.
In October 2010, Evernote raised $20 million in funding led by Sequoia Capital, DoCoMo Capital, Troika Dialog and Morgenthaler Ventures as the service continued to expand its user base. The funding round came as the company saw a large amount of growth since its launch in 2008.
In 2012, Evernote launched Evernote Business, a version of the service for teams that enabled users to share notes and collaborate within an organization.
