Nota grabs $2M for simple content-sharing apps

Nota, a small Silicon Valley company that develops simple content-sharing apps, is getting a little boost.

More specifically, the small Kyoto, Japan and Menlo Park, Calif.-based company that makes web platforms and apps that let users create and share their own content around the world, has raised a $2 million funding round, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The company had previously raised roughly $800,000 in seed money.

Nota makes three apps, according to its website. “Today we have been working to develop web services anyone can use for fun, for work, to teach, and to learn,” the site reads. “It is our hope to build services that can help people express themselves in new ways, and have fun doing it.”

Gyazo lets users capture and share screens, GIFs, and video. You can click on a GIF icon to record a section of the screen for up to 7 seconds.

Davinci Note is a note-taking app for iPad. You can upload your photos, fit them into templated designs, add text, and then share.

Photo Peach is used to upload photos and create slide shows. You can then embed the slide shows in your blog or website.

The company didn’t return calls for comment, so very little information is available about the investors or what Nota intends to do with the money. The filing does say that Nota currently has less than a million dollars in revenues.

Nota Inc. was founded by Isshu Rakusai in 2007. Rakusai was previously president at Kamilabo, where he developed “Kami copi,” scrapbook software that he designed during his sophomore year of high school.
