Granola provides an AI platform that turns meetings and conversational data into searchable company memory. The London startup is used by organisations ranging from fast-growing startups to established enterprises.
London-based Granola has secured a £43m Series B funding round to accelerate product development and expand its team. The investment was led by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross through NFDG, with participation from Lightspeed Venture Partners, Spark Capital, and a group of angel investors.
The company launched Granola 2.0 alongside the funding, introducing shared team folders, chat functions for meeting transcripts, and a Slack integration. The platform aims to transform everyday workplace conversations into searchable knowledge hubs.
Founded in 2023, Granola previously raised a seed round and a Series A last year, bringing its total funding close to £70m. The latest capital will support further engineering and product growth in London.
From the founder
"Since our launch a year ago, people have started referring to Granola as their ‘second brain’. 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"
