Granola Launches AI Workspace for Teams and Raises $43M Series B

Granola, the AI-powered notepad that combines your typed notes with AI transcriptions, launches Granola 2.0. This major update transforms the company’s popular AI meeting assistant into a powerful, intelligent workspace for teams. Every day, Granola transcribes and analyzes millions of minutes of conversation: collective knowledge which is now accessible and actionable across entire organizations.

“Since our launch a year ago, people have started referring to Granola as their ‘second brain,'” said Christopher Pedregal, Co-Founder of Granola. “With Granola 2.0, we’re bringing that power to your entire team, tapping into the most up-to-date, relevant data on what’s happening in your company – the conversations your employees are having day in, day out.”

Granola 2.0 and all its features are rolling out. New users can download the desktop app and create their first shared folder in under a minute.

Beyond Meeting Notes: Harnessing Shared Context with AI

Granola has identified that the most valuable information in companies isn’t found in static documents or wikis, but in the daily conversations happening across teams.

“Harnessing shared meeting context with AI will be a core tool of how effective teams work in the future,” said Pedregal. “Our vision is to make Granola the place your team gets work done – a powerful, intelligent workspace sitting on top of living, up-to-date context of what’s happening in your company.”

With the launch of 2.0, Granola is now a collaborative workspace that transforms how teams capture, share, and leverage collective knowledge:

• Shared Team Folders: Create dedicated spaces for Sales Calls, Customer Feedback, Hiring Loops, Weekly Syncs, and more, with folders that anyone on your team can access (even without a Granola account)
• Chat with Folders: Query across an entire folder of meeting notes using best-in-class reasoning models, with AI delivering insights that cite specific meetings and transcripts as sources
• Enterprise Collaboration: Business & Enterprise users can explore any public folder inside their domain—perfect for competitive intel, customer success, or onboarding new hires
• Slack Integration: with a one-time connection to Slack, Granola can keep your whole team in the with concise summaries and a “chat with this meeting” button posted to your chosen channel the moment the call ends

“With every call in one place, sales leaders can ask ‘Why are we losing deals this quarter?,’ product managers can investigate ‘Which UX issues come up most often?,’ and recruiters can understand ‘Where do our interviews keep stalling?’ — all answered instantly with source-linked citations,” said Sam Stephenson, Co-Founder of Granola.
