ChatSpot's $1 Sale

Dharmesh Shah shares a story about developing ChatSpot.ai as a personal project before transferring it to HubSpot.

"At the time I built ChatSpot, it was experimental. I wasn't sure if this would actually be valuable to HubSpot, so I spent over half a million dollars on freelance developers and OpenAI license fees and all the things needed to launch a product like that.

I'll end up giving it to HubSpot for a dollar. I'm not looking to make money from it. I enjoy what I do at HubSpot, I think I add value there, and I'm on a dollar salary so it's not about the money at all."
