About this Deal

Granola for Startups gives qualifying early-stage teams one year of Granola Business at no cost. Granola Business lists at $14 per user per month, so the free year is worth $168 per seat, and it covers teams of up to 30 employees. Granola is an AI notepad that transcribes meetings from your computer's system audio, so it does not join calls as a bot. The offer is run by Granola directly through a short application form, with no accelerator, cloud marketplace or third-party perk platform in between.
