Granola: The AI Meeting Notepad That VCs Loved So Much, They Invested $20M

In a compelling case of product-led fundraising, Granola's AI-powered notepad app has achieved what many startups dream of - securing funding from the very venture capitalists who became its earliest adopters. The company recently raised a $20 million Series A round in just one week, led by Spark Capital, with participation from notable investors including Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross, Lightspeed, and others.

What makes Granola different from other AI meeting tools is its collaborative approach to note-taking. Rather than simply transcribing meetings and generating automated summaries, Granola allows users to guide the AI by noting what they consider important. The app then enriches these human insights with relevant context from the meeting transcript, creating a hybrid of human judgment and AI assistance.

The process is seamless: users install the app on their Mac, connect their calendar, and Granola automatically transcribes meetings across platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Slack, Teams, and WebEx. During meetings, users can take notes actively or let the AI handle everything. Afterward, the AI analyzes the participants and content, expanding on the user's notes using the meeting transcript, even correcting hurried typos.

Since its May launch, Granola's growth has been remarkable. Weekly active users have reached 5,000, with a 5x increase in its user base. More impressively, 70% of users who try Granola in their first week return for more meetings, and weekly meetings have grown sixfold. While venture capitalists were early adopters, the user base has diversified significantly - now 57% of users are in leadership positions, with investors representing just a smaller fraction.

The company isn't standing still. New features are continuously rolling out, including Slack integrations and upcoming additions like CRM integration and image support. A particularly interesting feature in development will display past meeting histories when reconnecting with previous contacts, providing valuable context for ongoing relationships. The team also continuously updates their AI models to maintain natural-sounding note generation.

With this new funding, Granola plans to evolve into a more team-oriented product, develop enterprise pricing, and create features that can identify patterns across multiple meetings over time. A mobile app is on the horizon for next year, and the team of five engineers will expand with four new hires.

For a company that previously raised $4.25 million in seed funding, this rapid Series A raise demonstrates not just investor confidence, but the real-world value of a product that transforms how people capture and utilize meeting information. In the burgeoning field of AI-powered productivity tools, Granola is proving that sometimes the best path to investment is simply building something investors themselves can't work without.

🛠️ Create Your Own GPT for Personal Use with ChatGPT

What is GPT?
GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is an AI that creates human-like text by predicting words from patterns it learned in training. You can train it on personal data to fit your specific needs. It’s accessible, even for beginners!

💡 How to Create Your Own GPT

Step 1: Define Your Goal

Decide what task you want your GPT to handle. Be specific!

Example: "I want to create a GPT that helps me draft professional emails."

Step 2: Access ChatGPT

Visit the ChatGPT website, then sign up or log in.
Click Create New to begin.

Step 3: Feed It Your Data

To make your GPT act like a personal copywriter, you’ll need to train it with examples of the type of text you want it to generate.

1️⃣ Collect Content:
Gather emails, articles, or documents you’ve written or like to emulate.

2️⃣ Feed the Content:
Use ChatGPT by copy-pasting your examples into the chat. Give clear instructions, like:
“Here are examples of professional emails I’ve written. Use this style when generating new emails for me.”

3️⃣ Fine-Tune It:
Ask GPT to create new samples. Provide feedback on what you like or want changed to improve its accuracy.

Step 4: Add Your Own Text

Incorporate your style by feeding it specific phrases or templates you often use.

1️⃣ Create a Template:
Provide a sample text with placeholders for customization, such as:
"Dear [Name], I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to follow up on [Topic]. Let me know if you have any questions!"

2️⃣ Set Your Preferences:
Ask GPT to include these templates automatically:
“Use the greeting ‘Hello there,’ in every email and always close with ‘Best regards.’”

3️⃣ Test & Refine:
Run the tool through different tasks—ask it to draft emails, marketing copy, or follow-up notes. Keep refining until the results match your style perfectly.

🔧 This Week’s Tool: GPT by ChatGPT

What is this tool best for?
Creating personalized tools to analyze data, write custom text, and make predictions. It acts like your personal LLM (Large Language Model)—trained on your data to serve your needs.

Why is it better than other tools?
Easy to use, adaptable to personal data, and accessible without advanced skills.

What does it do best?
Generates text, answers questions, summarizes, translates, and supports tasks like writing or coding.
