But we know there's a better way to grow. One where what's good for the bottom line is also good for customers. We believe businesses can grow with a conscience, and succeed with a soul — and that they can do it with inbound. That's why we've created an ecosystem uniting software, education, and community to help businesses grow better every day. ![brian halligan and dharmesh shah](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/53/assets/hubspot.com/about_2019/BrianAndDharmesh-photo.png) ![brian halligan signature blob](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/53/assets/hubspot.com/about_2019/blobs/Blop-Gray@2x.png) ## Our Story ![video placeholder image](https://play.vidyard.com/Jgw4cuRZkXyuxZ3hQnoMAv.jpg) As fellow graduate students at MIT in 2004, Brian and Dharmesh noticed a shift in the way people shop and buy. Consumers were no longer tolerating interruptive bids for their attention — in fact, they'd gotten really, really good at ignoring them. From this shift, a company was born: HubSpot. It was founded on "inbound", the notion that people don't want to be interrupted by marketers or harassed by salespeople — they want to be helped. Today, the inbound movement continues to empower businesses around the world to stop interrupting, start helping, and return their focus to the customer. ## Our History ![](https://f.hubspotusercontent20.net/hubfs/2406023/assets/component-library/icons/icons.svg) - ![Timeline_picture_4](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/53/Timeline_picture_4.jpg) ![Timeline_picture_3](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/53/Timeline_picture_3.jpg) ![timeline divider](https://www.hubspot.com/hubfs/assets/hubspot.com/about_2019/illustrations/Combined%20Shape@2x.png) ### 2005 HubSpot opens its doors.
