Granola raises $125M, hits $1.5B valuation as it expands from meeting notetaker to enterprise AI app
Users might not likebotsin meetingsvisibly taking notes, but a lot of them don’t mind if an app on someone’s computer is doing the transcription. That’s the core reason behind Granola’s popularity, which helped it secure $125 million in Series C funding led by Danny Rimer at Index Ventures, with participation from Mamoon Hamid at Kleiner Perkins. This has tipped the company’s valuationto $1.5 billion, it said, up from $250 million as of the last round. The company said that existing investors like Lightspeed, Spark, and NFDG participated in the round as well. With this round, which comes less thana year after its $43 million round, the startup has raised $192 million. From being a prosumer app that sits on your computer, transcribes meetings, and generates notes, Granola has been building features to suit an enterprise stack. For instance, last year, it started allowing teammates to collaborate on notes. It has now made inroads into enterprises such as Vanta, Gusto, Thumbtack, Asana, Cursor, Lovable, Decagon, and Mistral AI, it says. With the fundraising announcement, Granola is also adding a feature called Spaces, which are essentially workspaces for a team. You can also create Folders within this workspace. Spaces have granular controls around who can access what part. Users can query notes from Spaces and folders separately. The company understands that AI meeting notes are becoming a commodity at this point, withmanyplayersoffering this feature. That is why, after introducing aModel Context Protocol (MCP)server in February, the company is introducing two new APIs for integrating the context of notes into AI workflows. Granola now has a personal API that lets people access their notes and notes shared with them, and an enterprise API to let admins work with team context. The personal API is available to users on business and enterprise plans and the enterprise API is available only to enterprise users. The API launch comes after a bunch of users, including an a16z partner, weremad at Granola for locking down its local database and breaking on-device AI agent workflows they had set up. Granola co-founder Chris Pedregalclarifiedthat the company didn’t want to lock down data, but its local cache was not designed to handle AI workflows, and the startup decided to change how it stored the data. That move broke the agent workflows. Pedregal promised at that time that Granola would launch APIs for users to access data in bulk. He also said that the company will figure out a way to work with local AI agents. The company said that it is also updating its MCP server to let users see notes in folders and notes shared with them. It noted that its app already connects with tools including Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, Figma Make, Replit, Manus, v0, Bolt.new, Duckbill, and Dreamer, and the startup is working on bringing more partners on board. As meeting note-taking becomes a commonplace feature, the value for startups in this category is to enable users and companies to take actions based on the notes and transcripts. This could range from drafting follow-up emails, or finding time for the next set of meetings, or drawing knowledge from the company database and CRMs to get closer to finalizing a lead. Some companies, such asRead AI,Fireflies, andQuill, have already started working in this direction.

Lucid Bots raises $20M to keep up with demand for its window-washing drones
Andrew Ashur, the founder and CEO of window cleaning robot startup Lucid Bots, likes to joke that his company is the antithesis of the robotics industry right now. While many companies aretrying to build humanoidsor tout demos of theirrobots dancing and doing flips, Lucid Bots’ drones are out in the field making traditionally unsexy and dangerous work, like cleaning windows, safer and more efficient. “The sad truth is most are still selling a lot of hype and headlines, and we sell performance on the job site that shows up in our customers, profits, and losses,” Ashur told TechCrunch. “We’re not just in the lab and simulators. We’ve got dirt under our fingernails, and we’re out on job sites getting work done.” Charlotte, North Carolina-based Lucid Bots is a full-stack robotics company that sells its Sherpa drones and Lavo robot to cleaning companies to help them on their job sites. The company designed and manufactures its own robots in the U.S. and just raised a $20 million Series B round co-led by Cubit Capital and Idea Fund Partners. This brings itstotal funding to $34 million. The company plans to use the money for hiring to keep up with demand, although Ashur joked that they’ve run out of parking spots at their manufacturing facility. “We have more requests for demos, then we have hours in the day, so we need to scale up capacity and head count,” Ashur said. “As a founder, when we don’t have enough hours in the day to do all the demos, it gives me a little bit of heartburn.” Demand from customers and investors wasn’t there in the beginning, Ashur said. It took the company half a decade to ship its first 100 robots, and it took a fair amount of convincing to get VCs to back a robotics founder with a liberal arts background and no robotics experience. Ashur got the original idea for the company while he was a junior at Davidson College studying economics and Spanish. He happened to walk by a building that was being cleaned by window washers. It was a windy day, and the workers’ swing stage started to knock around and slam into the building. Watching the harrowing scene made Ashur think about how technology could make this safer. “Built infrastructure is literally the largest asset class in the world, but right now, we’ve got these three compounding issues,” Ashur said. “We’ve got aging infrastructure, the new infrastructure we’re building is getting bigger and harder to maintain, and, last but not least, we have less and less people willing and able to do the work. We needed to start building drones and robots to bridge that gap.” Lucid Bots was launched in 2018 and started out as a cleaning company that took contract jobs to learn more about the industry. After two years, and a few cleaning chemical burns, Ashur said they knew what their drone needed to be successful. Lucid Bots’ sales has gained momentum recently. It took the startup five years to sell 100 units and now it is approaching 1,000. The company continues to improve its bots and drones in an effort to keep sales ticking along. Data collected by the robots is fed back to the underlying software, which is used to improve both of Lucid Bots’ products. The company is also building a tool that will allow its bots to be used for adjacent categories like painting waterproofing and sealing, among others. “We recently waterproofed a massive university stadium that was starting to age, still using the same brain and frame as a Sherpa,” Ashur said. “Part of why we went there is because our existing customers were pulling us there and we were getting, gosh, probably about 50 or so inbound leads a month related to painting and coating and that was before we even began marketing that option.”
