Key Points of the Article:

• Goodnotes, the popular notetaking app, has invested a cool $1.9 million into the South Korea-based digital stationary company, WeBudding.
• WeBudding was started by the dynamic trio – Donghwan Shin, Donggyun Ko, and Chaeyoung Lee, back in 2018.

• This investment comes just a few weeks after Goodnotes launched its own digital stationary store within the app.

Closing Thoughts and Hot Take

As much as we love our digital world, Goodnotes has shown that they believe there’s still a place for pen and paper—or at least, their digital equivalent. With their recent $1.9 million investment into WeBudding, they’ve backed up their motto: “You can’t beat a good Note!” Yet, the irony isn’t lost on us as both companies have transitioned from physical to digital offerings. It’s like giving a nod to the nostalgic old-school stationery while sipping on a soy latte and stylus-doodling on our iPads. Now that’s a paper-trail of success in the digital transition we can all get behind!
