ABOUT US We’re Team Granola 👋 building tools that help humans think and work better. What began as an AI notepad for back-to-back meetings has become a shared team workspace and second brain. Granola spreads organically inside companies, often starting with a senior leader and quickly cascading across teams. Today, Granola is used at many of the world’s top and fastest-growing companies like Vercel, Cursor, Lovable and Decagon. Designed and built in London, Granola now serves a predominantly US customer base. To support that growth, we’ve opened a San Francisco office as the hub for our North American go-to-market efforts.
