GIC joins Sequoia in $270m Notion employee share sale

Wealth fund finances Notion employee "cash-out" as AI revenue surges in 2025

GIC, the country’s sovereign wealth fund, has participated in a $270m private share purchase in software company Notion, joining existing investors Sequoia Capital and Index Ventures.

The transaction, executed as a private tender offer, saw GIC and existing investors buy shares directly from current and former Notion employees. It values the company at approximately $11b, according to a press release published by Notion.

Notion is known for its workspace platform that integrates notes, databases and collaboration tools. More than half of its annual recurring revenue (ARR) in 2025 came from customers using its AI-enhanced features, it said.

Notion CFO Rama Katar noted GIC for its "expertise in supporting growth in APAC and across the globe, as well as their commitment to the long term."

The sovereign wealth fund, which manages a portion of Singapore’s foreign reserves, has also recently invested in robotics and data centre infrastructure.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
