Granola Raises $125M, Launches Spaces, API, and MCP for Team Note Sharing

On March 25, 2026, Granola announced a $125 million Series C at a $1.5 billion valuation, led by Danny Rimer at Index Ventures with Mamoon Hamid at Kleiner Perkins joining, and existing investors Lightspeed, Spark, and NFDG returning. Alongside the funding, Granola launched three new products: Spaces for team note organization and sharing, a set of APIs for accessing and managing meeting notes programmatically, and an updated MCP that expands what AI assistants can access in Granola. The announcement marks Granola’s move from a personal AI meeting notes tool toward a team-level platform.

Spaces: team note organization

Spaces is Granola’s answer to one of the most requested use cases from teams using it individually: sharing relevant notes across a team without losing control over what’s shared and with whom.

The structure includes a Team Space for shared organizational notes, a My Notes area for personal meeting notes, and nested folders with expanded access management. Visibility controls are customizable — admins can set which spaces are accessible to which roles, and individual users can control what moves from their personal notes into team-visible spaces.

For teams where multiple people attend overlapping meetings with customers, partners, or internal stakeholders, Spaces provides a layer that didn’t exist before: a shared record of what was discussed, searchable across the team’s notes rather than siloed in individual accounts.

APIs and MCP: programmatic access

Three new integration options launched with the funding announcement:

• Personal API: Individual note access for developers and power users, available on Business and Enterprise plans
• Enterprise API: Admin-level team context management, available on Enterprise plans, designed for organizations wanting to integrate Granola’s meeting notes into broader data pipelines or internal tools
• Updated MCP: Expanded to support folder notes and shared team content, not just individual meeting notes

The MCP expansion is practically significant. Granola is already an official connector across Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, Figma Make, Replit, and eight additional platforms. With the updated MCP supporting shared content, AI assistants connected to Granola can now draw on team-level meeting context, not just the individual user’s notes. For teams building AI workflows that reference past customer conversations, project discussions, or decision histories, this is the difference between the AI having access to one person’s notes and having access to the organization’s meeting record.

Enterprise controls

The release includes an enterprise admin dashboard showing active users, note counts, and top contributors. Additional enterprise features: SSO, SCIM, granular access control, and transcript management. These are standard enterprise requirements for teams where IT governance over AI-generated content matters.

Notable current customers include enterprises such as Vanta, Gusto, Thumbtack, and Asana, alongside startups like Cursor, Lovable, Decagon, and Mistral AI — indicating adoption across both established teams and fast-moving AI-native companies.

What this means for teams currently using Granola individually

For teams where several individuals already use Granola on separate accounts, the Spaces feature is the most immediately relevant change. The ability to create a shared space for customer-facing meetings or project discussions — without requiring everyone to change their personal workflow — is the natural next step for teams past the “one person trying it” phase.

The Personal API is relevant for technically capable users who want to build personal workflows on top of their meeting notes — feeding recent notes into a weekly summary, querying across past customer discussions, or building a lightweight CRM layer from meeting records. The API makes this possible without requiring Enterprise plan access.

What to check

Spaces availability and API access depend on plan tier. Personal API requires Business or Enterprise; Enterprise API requires Enterprise. Teams currently on free or individual plans will need to upgrade to access the new sharing and integration features. Check current pricing at granola.ai before planning a rollout.

Transcript management — listed as an enterprise feature — is relevant for compliance-sensitive teams that need to control how AI-generated meeting transcripts are stored, retained, and deleted. Review these controls against your data governance requirements before deploying Granola for meetings involving sensitive discussions.

What to do now

If your team uses Granola individually and has been waiting for team sharing, check Spaces availability on your current plan. If you’re building workflows that reference past meeting context with AI assistants, review the updated MCP scope and whether it covers the folder or shared note access your use case requires.
