Menutes for Startups
Last updated: February 15, 2026
Startups move fast and every decision matters. Menutes captures your investor pitches, sprint planning, team standups, and customer discovery calls so nothing falls through the cracks. Start free and scale as you grow.
How teams use Menutes
Investor calls and board meetings
Automatically document investor updates, board decisions, and fundraising calls. Share structured minutes with your board instead of relying on memory or hastily written notes.
Sprint planning and retros
Capture every decision from sprint planning, retrospectives, and product reviews. The AI extracts action items so your engineering team knows exactly what was committed to.
Customer discovery calls
Record and transcribe customer interviews and discovery calls. Build a searchable library of customer feedback that your product team can reference when making decisions.
All-hands and team meetings
Document company all-hands, leadership syncs, and cross-functional meetings. New hires can catch up on decisions made before they joined.
Why startups need meeting documentation
In the early stages, decisions are made quickly and often in informal settings. A conversation over coffee can determine your product roadmap. A Slack huddle can reshape your go-to-market strategy. Without documentation, these decisions live only in people's heads.
As your team grows from 5 to 20 to 50, the cost of undocumented decisions compounds. New hires don't know why certain decisions were made. Teams duplicate work because they didn't know it was already discussed. Investors ask about commitments that weren't written down.
Menutes solves this by making documentation automatic. Record any meeting (in-person or virtual), and Menutes delivers structured minutes within minutes. No one needs to be the designated note-taker, and every decision is captured with context.
Built for startup budgets
Menutes' free plan includes 5 hours of transcription per month with 30-day meeting history. For most early-stage startups, this covers your critical meetings without spending a dollar.
When you're ready to scale, Premium is €10/month per user, and Team plans are €9/user/month. Compare this to enterprise tools like Avoma ($49/user/month) or Gong ($100+/user/month). For a 10-person startup, Menutes costs €90/month, roughly the price of a few coffees per person.
There are no annual commitments, no per-seat minimums, and no surprise overages. You pay for what you use and can upgrade or downgrade anytime.
Works everywhere your team meets
Startups don't just meet on Zoom. You have impromptu whiteboard sessions, coffee meetings with advisors, co-working space collaborations, and quick in-person syncs between Slack messages.
Menutes handles all of these. For virtual meetings, it captures system audio from Zoom, Google Meet, Teams, or any platform. For in-person meetings, open the app on your phone or laptop and press record. The AI handles transcription and speaker identification regardless of the setting.
This flexibility means your meeting documentation is consistent across all formats, from formal board meetings to informal co-founder syncs.
GDPR compliance from day one
If your startup serves European customers or has European investors, GDPR compliance matters from day one. Many startups learn this the hard way when a prospective enterprise customer asks about data handling during due diligence.
Menutes is built on EU infrastructure with native GDPR compliance. Your meeting data never leaves European servers. This isn't a checkbox feature; it's the architecture of the platform.
For startups targeting enterprise customers, being able to say "our meeting documentation tool is GDPR-compliant with EU data residency" removes a common objection in enterprise sales cycles.
