Salary benchmarks
Our take
Granola is a London-based startup building the leading AI-powered meeting notetaker for people in back-to-back meetings. It believes meetings are a core source of team knowledge - and it helps capture, organize, and unlock the knowledge, making it fast to access, easy to share, and actionable across the team. And it works directly with machine audio, meaning it functions seamlessly across all major meeting platforms (think Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Slack) as well as for in-person meetings, with no annoying meeting bots or complex setup required.
Since launching its Mac app in 2024, Granola has seen explosive growth, with weekly growth rates above 10%R and expanding across Mac, iOS, and soon Windows. It has quickly become a must-have tool for people who want beautifully crafted, intelligent software that lightenes workloads and amplifies impact.
And the team behind it is an experienced one (the CEO's previous startup was acquired by Google) and has raised $24.5M in venture capital from world-class investors, including the co-founder of Instagram and senior leaders from Google and Facebook.
