Granola Raises $125M Series C and Launches Team Spaces for Shared Meeting Notes

Granola has closed a $125 million Series C led by Danny Rimer at Index Ventures, with participation from Mamoon Hamid at Kleiner Perkins and all existing investors including Lightspeed, Spark, and NFDG. The funding announcement comes alongside a suite of product releases aimed at making meeting context more shareable and actionable across teams.

The headline feature is Team Spaces, which allows teams to share meeting notes and context without friction. According to the company's blog post, the new feature addresses a growing pattern: teams are using Granola not just to capture meetings, but to drive progress on work by surfacing context where it matters.

APIs for Individuals and Enterprises

Granola is also introducing APIs for both individual users and enterprise customers, following their recent API launch that connected meeting notes with AI agents and external tools. The APIs let users programmatically access meeting transcripts, summaries, and structured data, enabling integrations with internal systems and custom workflows.

For enterprises, this means meeting notes can feed into CRM systems, project management tools, or proprietary applications. Individual users can build personal automations or connect Granola to tools like Zapier or Make to trigger actions based on meeting outcomes.

Expanded MCP Access and Enterprise Controls

The company is broadening access to its Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, which connects Granola's meeting notes to AI tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor. This means developers and knowledge workers can reference meeting context directly inside their coding environments or chat interfaces without switching tabs.

Granola is also rolling out new visibility and control features for enterprise customers. These include admin dashboards for monitoring usage, data retention policies, and granular permissions for sharing notes across teams. The features address compliance and security needs as organizations scale their use of AI meeting tools.

The updates build on Granola's recent momentum. The company launched Spaces earlier to organize and search team meeting notes, and more recently rebuilt its Chat interface to handle queries across months of meeting history. Team Spaces extends that collaborative layer by making shared context the default for teams working together.

Granola positions the Series C as fuel for deeper product development rather than a shift in strategy. The company's focus remains on helping people in back-to-back meetings capture and use context without manual effort. With Team Spaces, APIs, and enterprise features, Granola is betting that the most valuable use case is not just personal productivity, but turning meeting notes into a shared knowledge layer that teams can query, reference, and act on across their tools.
