Dharmesh Shah, Co-founder and CTO, HubSpot. July 2026.
What, why, and who is this?
Greetings!
If you're reading this, you probably clicked a link with a strange name on it and want to know what you've wandered into. Fair. Let me answer the three questions in the order people actually ask them.
What is this?
YouSpot is a personal CRM. Not a CRM for your company, HubSpot does that, and does it well. This one is for you: the people you know, the conversations you have had, the follow-ups you meant to send. You talk to it the way you would talk to a person who happened to remember everything. "Who do I know at Gusto?" "Which invitations did I never answer?" It just answers.
Why does it exist?
Because I have thousands of connections and remember approximately none of the details. The tools I tried all wanted me to maintain them: fields to fill, stages to advance, a discipline I was never going to keep up. The interesting shift is that an AI does not need the tidy database first. It can work from the mess: your exports, your inbox, your actual history. That is the bet here. It is not AI bolted onto a CRM. It is a CRM that only makes sense because the AI came first.
Who is it for?
Solo professionals. Founders, investors, consultants, salespeople, connectors, anyone whose network is a real asset but who has no team, no ops person, and no interest in becoming a database administrator on the side. If you have ever failed to remember where you met someone right as you were shaking their hand again, it is for you.
Onward,
Dharmesh Shah

Five things we won't do, written down so you can hold us to them.
Your money never touches us.
Connect your own Stripe. We'll draft the chase and tell you who's late. The payment goes where it always went: to you.
One price, one person.
It doesn't change because you had a good year. Staying one person is the design, not the starter plan.
Nothing to fill in.
No forms, no fields, no Sunday evening tidying up. If you have to maintain it, it'll be dead in a month. Yours were.
There is no pipeline view.
No stages to drag things between. The dimensions here are people, time since you last spoke, and warmth.
Take everything with you, any time.
One click, everything you have, in a format you can read. No exit interview.
Connect your inbox. It remembers so you don't have to.
About a minute to connect. Then ask it who you've lost touch with.
Reads your sent mail and calendar. Nothing to fill in. Everything exports in one click.
