Hints founder Georgy Levin

About the round of financing Forbes said co-founder Hints Georgy Levin. According to him, the service plans to simplify the preservation and management of knowledge, competing with Notion and Evernote. The application will be able to save information in any format and in any way - make a text or audio recording, send a letter or message from the messenger, copy the site, send a photo with attachments or screenshots from the screen. Then all information will be processed by NLP algorithms that will help organize it. It is expected that the service will first be offered by subscription to private customers, and then (in 2022) it will become available in the B2B sector.

According to Igor Ryabenky, the founder of AltaIR Capital and AltaClub, he is well acquainted with Levin by Getintent.

We have been investing in Productivity Tools for a long time and very successfully. As the number of distributed commands grows, the value of information grows, and control becomes more difficult. Hints just helps to organize this flow in a meaningful way. We are glad to support the experienced founder in a new, I hope, large-scale and successful project, "Igor Ryabenky told the publication.

What specific goals the investments attracted by Hints will go to is not specified. It is also not reported how much investors estimated the startup.^[1]
