Based in San Francisco, California, Dashworks develops an artificial intelligence-powered enterprise search and knowledge assistant that unifies internal company data to answer workplace questions in natural language. The software integrates directly with enterprise applications such as Slack, Jira, and Dropbox to provide real-time information retrieval and multi-step research capabilities for small to mid-market businesses. Operating with an estimated 11 to 50 employees, the company generates under $5 million in annual revenue while maintaining an annualized net dollar retention rate exceeding 200 percent across its corporate customer base. Backed by Y Combinator and having secured $9.5 million in total venture funding, the startup processes hundreds of thousands of queries monthly before entering into a definitive agreement to be acquired by HubSpot. Dashworks was originally founded in 2019 by software engineers Prasad Kawthekar and Praty Sharma.
Dashworks is an AI-powered enterprise search assistant designed to serve teams across customer support, sales, engineering, and product management by providing instant answers to workplace questions through a unified search experience. It integrates with numerous internal tools and knowledge bases, eliminating the inefficiency of fragmented information across multiple applications. Dashworks’ platform acts as a "corporate second brain," enabling employees to quickly find relevant information and improve productivity. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Francisco, Dashworks was acquired by HubSpot in April 2025, marking a transition to powering AI features for a large customer base within HubSpot’s ecosystem[1][2][5].
Dashworks was founded in 2018 by a team motivated by their own frustrations with the difficulty of finding answers at work. The company emerged from the Y Combinator accelerator (Winter 2020 batch), quickly establishing itself as a leader in AI knowledge management. Its founding mission was to solve the "digital friction" caused by information sprawl in modern workplaces, where data is siloed across dozens of applications. Early traction came from building a unique "no-indexing" live search agent that accesses data in real time without replicating it, differentiating Dashworks from legacy enterprise search tools. This approach helped Dashworks gain significant customer adoption and raise over $8 million before its acquisition by HubSpot[1][2][5].
Dashworks rides the wave of AI-driven productivity tools aimed at solving the universal problem of information overload and fragmented knowledge in enterprises. The timing is critical as organizations increasingly adopt SaaS stacks, creating complex data ecosystems that demand smarter search and knowledge management solutions. By integrating AI with real-time data retrieval, Dashworks addresses a fundamental pain point that impacts operational efficiency across industries. Its acquisition by HubSpot signals the growing importance of embedded AI assistants in CRM and business software, influencing how companies leverage AI to enhance employee productivity and customer engagement[1][2][5].
Post-acquisition, Dashworks is poised to scale its technology to hundreds of thousands of HubSpot customers, embedding AI-powered knowledge management deeply into business workflows. Future trends shaping its journey include advances in large language models, real-time data integration, and the growing demand for AI tools that reduce cognitive load and accelerate decision-making. Dashworks’ influence is likely to expand as AI becomes a standard feature in enterprise software, transforming how teams access and use information. Its mission to make "humanity omniscient" through intelligent, accessible AI aligns with broader shifts toward AI-augmented work environments, promising continued innovation and impact in the knowledge management space[3][5].
