Knote

Knote is a small New York-based startup backed by 500 Global, surfaced through the 500 Global portfolio and added to the API Evangelist network as an enrichment lead. Third-party company databases describe it inconsistently: Tracxn profiles Knote as a knowledge-management platform that raised roughly $150K from 500 Global, while Dealroom describes it as an AI-powered email summarization and management tool. No first-party description could be confirmed. As of the 2026-07-19 enrichment pass the knote.com web property is offline — the domain resolves (Cloudflare nameservers, an EC2 A record, live Google Workspace MX and an SPF record including Mailgun and Mailchimp) but refuses connections on both port 80 and port 443, so no homepage, developer portal, documentation, API reference, or machine-readable specification could be retrieved. No corporate GitHub organization, package-registry client library, or public API surface was found; the GitHub repositories named "Knote" are unrelated third-party note-taking and Kubernetes-course projects. This profile therefore carries only what could be independently verified: the funding and identity facts above plus a live DNS/TLS domain-security probe. It should be treated as a dormant or defunct lead and re-checked if the domain returns to service.

Knote is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Startup, Knowledge Management, Notes, and Productivity.
