What they are
AI notepad for back-to-back meetings: bot-free background notes, pre-meeting Briefs (calendar context), auto action items, cross-meeting 'Granola Chat', iPhone app, MCP connectors. Raised Series C ($125M, per site).
Why it matters to us
Hot and well-funded; 'Granola Chat' is cross-meeting memory and pre-meeting Briefs touch prep/context — edging toward a company-context layer. Still notes-first: no goal/decision governance or approval-gated PM execution.
