- What it is
- A news article on Granola's $125M Series C that recounts its earlier rounds, including a $4.25 million seed in May 2023 from Lightspeed, betaworks and FirstMinute.
- How much weight it carries
- An independent news site, not Granola's own page. It dates the seed to May 2023 and gives the amount, but it does not name a seed lead, so the seed row carries no lead.
Facts taken from this source
- Implicator reported that Lightspeed, betaworks and FirstMinute seeded Granola with $4.25 million in May 2023.
