What it’s like being a part of the Deepnote Team?
1️⃣ Stellar product. We are building the best notebook for teams. Period. See what our community and customers have to say about us.
2️⃣ Perfect timing. This is the right time and place! Our seed round was heavily focused on building the best product, fostering our community, and proving our product market fit. We are now entering an exciting phase of doubling down on what works in a rapidly growing market. Come join us now and help us shape the product, team, and culture.
3️⃣ Experienced team. We are a small but mighty team of builders and makers, excited about reinventing tools for data exploration from first principles. In the past, we built tools and infrastructure at companies like Mozilla, Google, Palantir, Amazon, and McKinsey. Get a glimpse here :)
4️⃣ Prolific development. In 2021, we shipped over 50 major features, 100+ smaller features and fixes, introduced a new product plan for Teams, launched integrations with Notion, GitHub, Athena, Okta, Oracle MySQL, and grew from 15 to 25 people — spread across 6 timezones & 7 cities. Here is a wrap up of what we built in 2021.
5️⃣ Our environment & culture. In our recent eNPS, we scored an 86. The honest and open communication, flathierarchy, autonomy, and impact of everyone on the team were the highlights of our survey. For me, it’s the transparency, vulnerability, and the entire team’s continual striving for constant improvement that truly impressed me. These qualities were exemplified by everyone, including our founder Jakub. The net promoter score is found by asking this question: Would you recommend working at Deepnote as a great place to work? Any score above 30% is considered GREAT. Anyone who gives a 9 or 10 is considered a Promoter. These are the people who most likely advocate for Deepnote. Those who provide scores between 0 to 6 are considered Detractors. And wait for it, Deepnote has no detractors, yet! I have never ever seen this before. Scoring above 90%? Now that’s a sign that you should join us! You can read more about Net promoter score here.
6️⃣ World-class investors & advisors. Deepnote’s Series A backers include Index Ventures, Accel, Y-Combinator, and Credo Ventures — all of whom were early champions of Deepnote and have chosen to double down on their seed investments. Some of our angel investors and advisors include OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, Figma’s Dylan Field, Elad Gil, Naval Ravikant, Daniel Gross, Lachy Groom, and more.
7️⃣ Focus on learning. At Deepnote, we strive for continuous learning — it’s not a nice-to-have, it’s a must! This is why we offer an unlimited learning budget and learning weeks for you to take time to gain new skills get creative, and think outside the box.
8️⃣ Trend setters. We are early enough for you to have a meaningful impact, whether you’re a designer, engineer, or an operator. We just raised a bunch of money to take our ambition to the next level. But have you also considered the timing of the data market? Data science, analytics, machine learning, and AI are all on the rise. The usage of notebooks has increased 100x in the past 7 years. We are on track to be the best notebook platform and you could be a part of our incredible journey to the top.

“Most people don’t realize what’s going to happen with data science notebooks. We are going to see the same transformation in this market as we’ve seen with design and Figma a few years ago. Deepnote is the product that’s going to make it happen. The CEO of Figma understands this, that’s why he, among others, invested in Deepnote. Deepnote is already the standard for the new generation of data scientists. For example, if you are going to take a data science course at Cambridge, Harvard, MIT, etc, it’s going to be taught in Deepnote.” Jakub, Founder
