Reports do not confirm Granola valuation rising above $250M

In short: Granola’s last clearly supported valuation is $250 million after a $43 million Series B in May 2025, and available sources do not confirm a later jump to $1.5 billion.

What happened

Granola is an AI-powered notetaking app for meetings. It raised $43 million in a Series B funding round in May 2025, at a reported $250 million valuation.

Some recent coverage claims Granola later reached a $1.5 billion valuation and raised more money. But based on the information available here, there is no confirmed evidence of that jump. Secondary market data from December 2025 still lists Granola at a $250 million valuation and about $67.3 million in total funding, with no mention of another funding round.

Separately, Granola has been expanding its product beyond personal notes to team use. Updates described as “Granola 2.0” include shared team folders, the ability to ask the app questions across multiple meetings (like searching across all your notebooks at once), and a Slack integration. It also supports AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, which are the underlying systems that generate answers and summaries.

Granola also lets people share transcripts and notes with teammates, including people who do not have accounts. It can organize notes into folders for things like sales calls, customer feedback, and hiring, and then pull “AI insights” from the combined set of notes.

Why it matters

Funding and valuation numbers shape how people judge a company’s momentum, but they are easy to repeat without solid proof. For users, the more practical story is that meeting note tools are shifting from solo use to shared team workspaces, similar to how a personal document becomes a shared team folder over time.
