100-word summary
Granola, the AI note-taking app that turns meeting recordings into structured summaries, closed a $43 million Series B led by NFDG in May 2025. The $250 million valuation marks a significant bet on AI assistants moving beyond individual users to full teams. The round included Lightspeed and Spark, and coincided with the launch of team collaboration features aimed at enterprise buyers. By January 2026, reports surfaced that Granola was already in talks to quadruple its valuation to $1 billion. If meeting notes sound boring, remember: someone just valued the ability to skip status updates at a quarter-billion dollars.
