Granola is the AI notepad VC investors trust for back-to-back founder calls — it transcribes computer audio locally without sending a bot into Zoom, Meet, Teams, or Webex. You type sparse notes during the call, and Granola enhances them into structured writeups using the full transcript. Templates for first-meeting notes, founder deep dives, and portfolio check-ins, plus chat-with-transcript and one-click export to Slack, Notion, and CRMs.
