Granola raises $125M to put your company's context to work

Today we're announcing our $125M Series C at a $1.5bn valuation, led by Danny Rimer at Index Ventures, with participation from Mamoon Hamid at Kleiner Perkins. Our existing investors at Lightspeed, Spark and NFDG have all partnered with us again.

Granola has become a staple across some of the world's most innovative companies: from enterprises like Vanta, Gusto, Thumbtack and Asana to fast-growing startups like Cursor, Lovable, Decagon and Mistral AI.

These companies are turning to Granola not only to capture their notes, but also to capture their context. Conversation transcripts are the richest source of context for what's happening across your company, and when paired with powerful AI models, they can unlock workflows that wouldn't have been possible before.

We want to make it easy to put your company's context to work for you - both inside of Granola and in the other tools you use. Today, we're launching three features that bring this to life:

Spaces to organize your context

Spaces are an easy way to organize and share notes with your team.

• You control what's visible, to who, and when.
• Everyone gets a Team Space, to easily share notes, and My Notes, where you can keep conversations to yourself or share selectively.
• Folders now sit inside Spaces, and have expanded access controls.
• Folders can now be filtered by company or by person.
• And, you can create folders inside folders to make team organization even easier.

With notes added to a Team Space, your entire team can ask anything about them. Granola Chat is built right into Spaces, and is always powered by the latest Claude, GPT and Gemini models.

So it's easy to ask about your top user needs across research calls, understand why you're losing a deal across multiple sales conversations with a specific company or write a marketing brief based on brainstorms and planning sessions with your team. And because conversations are richer than docs, decks or emails, Granola's answers are richer too.

APIs

Granola's context should be easily accessible and useful. So you can use it anywhere, we're launching:

• A personal API for people to access their notes, and notes shared with them (available on Business and Enterprise plans)
• An enterprise API, for admins to work with team context (available on Enterprise plan)
• An updated MCP, so you can see notes in folders, and notes shared with you

Enterprise visibility, enterprise control

Workspace admins on Enterprise can now see Granola usage at a glance: including the number of active users, notes taken and top note-takers. The content of notes always stays private, unless shared.

And Granola for Enterprise also comes with everything you'd expect: SSO, SCIM, granular user access control, consent management, scheduled transcript deletion and an easy way to delete sensitive data from transcripts.

Powering all your AI tools, with more to come

Granola is already an official connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, Figma Make, Replit, Manus, v0, Bolt.new, Duckbill and Dreamer, with more partners in the works.

With today's new APIs, updates to MCP and Spaces, working with your whole team's conversation context is easier than ever.

There's more to come in the Granola app too. More soon.

But for now, back to building.
