AI Meeting Notes — Users Genuinely Love It
The consensus on Granola: Choose Granola if you want to ship a product users genuinely love on a tiny, in-person London team backed by Index Ventures and Kleiner Perkins.
Founded in 2023 by Sam Stephenson in London, Granola is the AI meeting notepad that sits on your device, transcribes meetings without a bot joining the call, and generates Notion-style notes afterward. The company reached a $1.5B valuation in March 2026 after a $125M Series C led by Index Ventures with participation from Kleiner Perkins. The culture is strong product-engineering on a small, in-person team — plenty of opportunities to work on things that move the product, with total ownership of your area.
