Granola, the AI-powered notepad that combines typed notes with AI transcriptions, today launched Granola 2.0. This major update transforms the company's popular AI meeting assistant into a powerful, intelligent workspace for teams. Every day, Granola transcribes and analyses millions of minutes of conversation: collective knowledge which is now accessible and actionable across entire organisations.

Originally referred to by users as a "second brain", Granola is now extending that power across entire teams—tapping into the most up-to-date, relevant data on what's happening inside a company through the conversations employees are having day in, day out.

Granola 2.0 introduces shared team folders, the ability to query entire collections of meeting notes using best-in-class reasoning models, domain-wide enterprise access, and a Slack integration that delivers summaries and meeting links the moment a call ends—enabling faster knowledge sharing, onboarding, and collaboration.

The launch coincides with the announcement of a £32 million Series B funding round led by Nat Friedman and Daniel Gross from NFDG, with continued participation from existing investors Mike Mignano from Lightspeed Venture Partners and Nabeel Hyatt from Spark Capital. The company has also attracted investment from an impressive roster of angel investors, including Guillermo Rauch (Vercel), Amjad Masad (Replit), Tobi Lutke (Shopify), Karri Saarinen (Linear), Lenny Rachitsky (Lenny's Newsletter), Des Traynor (Intercom), Karim Atiyeh (Ramp), Zach Lloyd (Warp), Charlie Songhurst, Noah Weiss, Romain Huet, Nilan Peiris and Laura Modiano.

With this funding, Granola plans to continue expanding its team in London to accelerate product development. The company is focused on making Granola a tool that not only helps teams work better but think better.

Since our launch a year ago, people have started referring to Granola as their 'second brain.' With Granola 2.0, we're bringing that power to your entire team, tapping into the most up-to-date, relevant data on what's happening in your company – the conversations your employees are having day in, day out.

With every call in one place, sales leaders can ask 'Why are we losing deals this quarter?,' product managers can investigate 'Which UX issues come up most often?,' and recruiters can understand 'Where do our interviews keep stalling?' — all answered instantly with source-linked citations.
