Industry Mainstay

Dashworks is a verified, high-value project (Y Combinator W20) that was acquired by HubSpot in 2025, demonstrating exceptional real-world utility and market traction. However, the submission itself is of extremely low quality, containing false claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and irrelevant tags ('energy-solutions'). The score reflects the high intrinsic value of the technology and its proven exit, heavily penalized for the poor and inaccurate data provided in the submission.

Description
We are on a mission to reinvent knowledge sharing and decision-making for work in the age of AI. Today, teams are drowning in a sea of information that is siloed across hundreds of SaaS apps (think Notion, Dropbox, Slack, Jira, Github, Gmail, Salesforce, Airtable, etc.).\n\nUsing Dashworks, teams transform how their employees find, discover, and learn from their company knowledge. Our first product connects with all the cloud apps used in a company and uses state-of-the-art NLP to power intelligent, personalized, and deep search across company documents, messages, comments, emails, code, tasks, meeting transcripts, and everything else.
