Google’s First Big Acquisition In 19 Years? - Hubspot
Have you noticed that Google hasn’t had a big product launch or acquisition since the 2000s? Back in the day, Google was launching and acquiring winners left and right from Google Maps and Android to KZhead and Chrome. But since then, Google’s momentum has largely slowed down and that’s not due to a lack of effort. For example, in the 2010s, they launched Google Glass, Google+, and Google Pixel, but these products didn’t live up to Google’s expectations. And more recently, Google has tried to launch AI products such as Google Bard and Google Gemini, but once again, these products have largely fallen to the wayside in favor of ChatGPT. Instead of fighting against this trend, it looks like Google is shifting to go with the flow. They’ve shifted the vast majority of their growth focus to Google Cloud and now, there are rumors that they might buy out enterprise giant Hubspot. This video explains the possibility of Google acquiring Hubspot and how this would redefine the direction of the company permanently.

Google seems to have gone from trying to provide a useful service, and in the process sell some ads, to trying to hit targets to maximize executive compensation and squandering the good reputation of the company.
Maximizing stock value and shareholder returns is what kill so many good companies...
thats the thing public companies are BY LAW required to do this or else stockholders can sue and remove the board so the laws do force this BS
@@admiralkaede that needs to change
Things were fine for a bit after Sundar Pichai took over, but it didn't last too long. Then things really started going downhill when Prabhakar Raghavan took over search and Neal Mohan over KZhead.
I found everything Google simply increasingly painfull to use, thats without taking ads in consideration. Everything has become either useless (search), suffers from absurd decisions (youtube treatment of creators and users) or full of unnecessary or dumb solutions nobody asked for (android). Written from pixel 7, never again...
It makes sense. Hubspot's integration would go so well with Analytics
Indeed
A whole new world of data to mine. Don't worry about your personal data being stolen, its already been sold!
@@obsidianjane4413 Lol
@@obsidianjane4413 That isn't anything new; the blackmarket has and always will be, the actual hubspot for data exfiltration.
How do you know what a hub is? Because I don't you must work at the company

Nah hahaha
@@LogicallyAnsweredtechnically they’d be paying themselves
Technically already happened. Technically all of them to some extend
Google is their employer
Hope our beloved LA remains as independent as ever to provide us with such insights!
A company caring about the stock price is fundamentally bad for everyone else
whereas a private company is supposed to think about the public, not about making money.
😮😮😮😮😮😊
Well, which company doesn’t?
Unfortunately, US Courts have decided it's illegal for companies to not care about stock price. Look up Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. (1919)
Dude.. Neither Google or Apple was one of the first to the smartphone scene. They where actually very, very late. They just changed it.
That’s what ended up counting :)
last mover advantage
could agree with google but for "smart" phones specifically,apple wasn't very late infact 2008 was almost the beginning of the smartphone industry
I remember BlackBerry and Nokia. Used to text girls in highschool during class from my pocket on my old flip phone.
@@AlexanderTheGoodEnough Yeah, there where many more smartphones than just from them im the world. Without keyboard. You are talking about "dumb phones"
I hope regulators will block this deal completely, just like they blocked Nvidia from acquiring ARM. The IT sector is already heavily monopolised, it doesn’t need to be monopolised even more.
Thank you. This is a nightmare. (Also was anybody else taken aback when he said hubspot started in 2006 then later revealed it’s got a burn rate, I.e. it’s not profitable? That’s 18 years. Motherfucker is a legal adult).
Antitrust has not been enforced since Reagan. Here's hoping.
Well, or you can buy some google stocks and take a seat in the party.
@@geraegui1922 no
@personzorz Recently jetblue and spirit airlines merger was blocked. As well as amazon and irobot.
For some reason I confused the logo with Blender and was scared for a moment.
Hahaha
So did i... Was the reason i clicked the video in the first place.
I thought it was Avast antivirus
RIP HUBSPOT Google abandons everything. If Bing started their own Street View and Maps I would contribute to that instead because Google's completely abandoned user uploaded content for these products. Their uploader cannot ever count 8 seconds correctly if you feed it GPX data in a stable 2 second interval. No one is going to pay Google enterprise rates, because Google don't provide enterprise grade support.
They don’t always. Just 99.99999% of the time ;)
@@thecwwshow8036 Sounds like a rounding error
Note that this is for the ERP/CRM cloud side. Comparing azure/was/gcp marketshares means essentially nothing in the context of business operations software. Also the larger B2C companies have uses for hubspot like establishing partnerships with retailers, promoters and so on (in which case it's an marketing and sales tool mainly with corporate support-portal)
I don't know if this channel is run solo or if there is a whole team behind it but it's really nice to see you active in the comments. 😊

With the volume in which he publishes stuff there’s no way he does it alone, probably outsources a bunch of work and then write his own scripts or edits them w his team. Animation and video editing alone would take a significant amount of time far too much for just an individual.
@@LogicallyAnswered I of the main reasons i subscribed and stick around .
HubSpot? Never heard of it...😂😂😂 I am so blissfully innocent
Well, they are a background business
Yeah...my first encounter was when I was taking a digital marketing course
Mine was the Dan Lyons book, I can't remember the title but the cover is a person wearing a unicorn head mask. For anyone who has ever worked in tech marketing, it's a terrifying read.
Hari dude you are living under a rock Google has acquired plenty of big and small companies throughout the last 19 yrs. This includes KZhead, Android, Motorola (eventually sold off) and many more. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Alphabet
You wrote 73 comments on this channel that shows you have watched more than 100 videos if we take average 12 minutes per video you wasted 20 hrs of your life lol HAHA.
infinite growth on a finite planet 💀
Dude, this is a 1st rate channel - Thanks !!!!
Thanks for watching man!
I still have no idea what sets Hubspot apart from other CRM solutions like Salesforce and Zendesk. This honestly sounds like a horrible venture for Google which makes it highly likely it'll go through.
Google is a lot like Boeing. It isn't what it used to be. They will mess up the Hubspot too.
Small point. Even by stop growing Google wouldn't fall to a PE of 10 like AT&T (which has a low PE since it has a lot pf debt. Google has negative debt so even if the (important meteric of the) Enterprise value is relatively the same, it would still have a higher PE than AT&T (my guess is between 15 and 20 rather than between 5 and 10. I point out these small things because your videos are great and you have been one of my favorites KZheadr for a while.
You can do the sums: Profit + interest = return on capital Equity + debt = Enterprise value Apply that to both and work backwards.
Ah, interesting point
@katrinabryce You are right I could, but I am too lazy for that hahaha. (The proof is the awful grammar of my first comment)
As someone who has owned multiple Google products, which they subsequently discontinued which cost me money, I am confident they will run this company into the ground, just like nest and their other acquisitions
Hubspot actually doesn’t make that much money 10k per customer when it comes to B2B sales is quite low
What's that music playing in the background from the 2nd part of this video? (starting at about 2:00) I hear it a lot in your vids.
Neither Android nor youtube existed 20 years ago so how you can say they bought out youtube 19 years ago is just mental.
Google Pixel were first produced by HTC & Huawei, then they acquired a part of HTC to produce the current Pixels. Google enterprise like GSuite is not as good as it's competetors..
Google's attempts to start new services have been halfhearted at best.. like Stadia
True
stadia wasnt bad from what i heard just didn't meet what google expected
@@admiralkaede At its core it wasn't bad, but... it launched as a browser app with only support in a few browsers, no support on chromecasts, and only support on some devices.
Since the company is also growing internally, I do not complain
I mean it make totally sense for them to buy Hubspot, but they will have to compete with MS, which is huge in ERP and CRM with their Dynamics solutions.
Google Workspace and Cloud services are not 'enterprise first' 😅
4:09 Isn't Pixel line slowly gaining market share?
In the grand scheme not really. But in terms of yoy growth, doing well.
i plan on buying one its a pretty good phone I don't like samsungs junkware that forcibly add and I don't wanna go apple and I don't really wanna buy a chinses phone like one plus
@@admiralkaedethe tensor pixel phones are great, clean stock Rom, easy custom Rom support and monthly security updates
@@admiralkaedeI am on Pixel 6 Pro. Very pleasant. Only thing that I heavily dislike is the 3.5mm jack removal, but every bigger company has done that already…
Love my Pixel 7 Pro! ❤ Fast, great camera, great AI features.
Google acquired HTC? How did I miss that?
If this happens, RIP Hubspot.
16 times sales without being profitable is a bad deal for anyone.
The same thing will happen as with VMWare. They'll acquire it, announce licensing fees increases in t-1year and it'll bleed b2c clients like crazy as competitors fly in to saturate the new demand.
Please make video about jio telecom.
Thanks for the suggestion Shrey
I saw this and the first thing that I thought was "THEY BOUGHT BLENDER!!?" It appears I did not finish reading the title.
My company is a Hubspot customer and they have a great product & people.
“Google was the king of acquisitions” Oracle and IBM: lol cute
How do you square your assertion that Google's not getting any growth in its consumer products with its latest earnings report? Pretty much every segment did well including consumer services like Search, KZhead, subscriptions?
TikTok recently overtook Google as the go to search engine. And TikTok's affiliate shop as well as their shorts monetization also overtook KZhead just when major influencers were leaving the platform....and then the US "coincidentally voted" to ban it
Great video as always
Thank you as always Balpreet!
I agree he does make good videos
4:09 where did the logo disappear for a second xdd
What? Saying Google was a customer first business is insane... GoodleAds?, GoogleCloud? under what rock have you been living at?
Question: Do business users care about enshitification? Google is the king of enshitification. That's why consumer sentiment is cold on them. Their products aren't very nice to use any more.
Would love to see a video on Alimentation Couche-tard the guys that bought Circle K
Interesting, thanks for the suggestion man
@@LogicallyAnswered if you ever need to translate french documentation just reply to this comment and I will contact you by e mail as I am from Quebec
@@qcvitals Would it be _real_ french though? 🤭
Fun fact: Where I am, most of the French speakers I ever heard, were in a Circle-K, literally.
Google ads are longer and longer. It starts to feel like tv ads…
Use Brave browser.
Would this affect Hubspot’s integration with Microsoft products? 🤔
Have you read the book 'Disrupted' by Dan Lyons? A journalist gets a job a Hubspot and wrote a tell-all book about it.
can you make a video on recruit holdings. it is a pioneer in hr tech.it is an underrated company.they own indeed and glassdoor
Thanks for the suggestion Rajit!
Interested in Silo, not willing to buy an iPhone to use it. 😅
Fair enough. Android and Web Platforms coming soon :)
What is the difference between Hubspot and ERP?
Open source analytics platform is the way😂😂
ChatGPT is not a company, but a product of OpenAI. OpenAI also not owned by Microsoft, but they are heavily investing to it.
I never bothered to learn the name of the company. I do know their logo. They are one of the apps I am unable to get rid of off my phone.
Embrace your uniqueness
This is probably a bot 😂
Your music's for your videos makes me feels the vibe from Halloween movie
Hahaha
Like theses bells on 9:51@LogicallyAnswered
I've never heard of HubSpot before.
The golden assumption here is that even companies that burn millions of dollars can be bought. And long time monopolizing (Streamlined, as you described it) is the goal here.
Bhai aisa content hindi me bhi chahiye 😊
How will it help google already has anlytic integrated in ads , youtube and other products.
1:09 same color in logo, are they same company
well but microsoft hasn't acquire ChatGPT
They bought a big portion of it
To boost prices they are giving dividends
The spectrum Microsoft - Big on acquisitions Google - NULL Apple - Big on stock buybacks
If you’re a business, looking for services, you want stability and security. Does Google, with their track record in closing down services and data harvesting offer this? Their whole ethos (openly no longer “don’t be evil”) stifles growth. They need to address this otherwise they are just wasting their resources.
Is Google success mostly from buying out competitors?
Surely Google could just set up their own branch to replicate Hupspace for a fraction of the price. Like 1 Billion? Gambling 30-40 billion just seems crazy.
Hubspot ad before 😂
I have a feeling they will overpay for Hubspot like Sir Elon & Twitter BUT it will no doubt be a worthy acquisition.
Here to leave my mark
Thanks for being here Hiroshiken!
G for Government. Don't be fooled.
Imagine having $32bn you can just throw around like that, all the good you could do in the world. It’s just insane amounts of money
Stadia was great
Thought Google was acquiring orange theory lol
I knew about hubspot through the My First Million podcast
How much is a result of don't be evil which is the perception of...you're not forced to use..people choose to use.
thanks
11:30 just merge
Uh? Is hubspot listed? Should we buy it?
Hubspot is indeed listed. Whether you buy is completely up to you though
Thinking the same. No price spike yet...
@@mattgoodwin-king2228 its not cheap…or is it…? Bought 1 share. Let’s see what happens :)
Never heard of Hubspot.
Well, they are a background company
Make a podcast bro
Logically answered loves to stretch everything. Google revenue is 80-90% consumer facing, if they buy a company that makes 1% of their revenue. Suddenly they become a b2b first company?
Didn't Google acquire Fitbit in 2021?
Sounds like Google's next fail.
Hubspot is already top dog CRM tools.
The decade of endless growth is comong to an end i fear.
or google start paying dividends
Meanwhile musk who spent 44 billion on Twitter
Indeed hahaha
now time to sue google, hubspot, and nvidia for illegal data acquisition for AI
Hubspot? Never heard of them? What is it?
I thought this was going to be Google was buying the Orange Theory spa by the logo. lol I guess they both went to the same biz colage. Is that really Tommy Lee Jones @5:55 in a stock footage video? Oh, the credit is hiding under the time widget. Just imagine Google have free run of all your business' CRM and HR data....
Where would you even buy a Google phone?
You mallu bro?
Love the vids. I just noticed you look kinda like Sundar Pichai
Thanks man!
I’m pretty sure avast antivirus has the same exact logo
It’s not
google is a power house. Their growth reflects in recent earnings. google and amazon will win the AI race. Give them 5 years.
I feel Android is fine (as most of the population uses it).
As a user of both iOS and Android, Android has become a lot better over the years while keeping all the things it was already good at (Customization / Power-User friendly). If you want a computer to get work done, get Android. If you just need a phone to call/text and to browse Instagram, I can see why iPhone is appealing.
what about deepmind? that was 10 years ago
Saying business do not care about corporate privacy is so incorrect. This channel spits facts like Drake. Smh.
Google has a bad rep for abandoning stuff and I think that would impact their customers as well. Azure and AWS are way ahead and more reliable than GCP on any day I dont see Google winning here.
Never heard of Hubspot. I guess if you've become too big to innovate on your own you can always fallback on acquisitions of companies that can generate ideas.
well they always launch their products half-assed. Their hardware is not being sold in most parts of the world, pixel line, nest line. even their software has the same treatment. their wallet and google pay service is a mess, its not launched in most parts of the world also.
ChatGPT was not acquired by Microsoft.
Lmao, so is the case with Microsoft. As more tech is developing, centralizing tech would be more and more difficult. That means lesser growth of Legacy Companies and more for startups. Decentralization of Products is the way to go. Email handled by one company, search engine by another, video sharing and streaming by another.
What's wrong with Boeing these days?
GOOGLE MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT RECOGNIZING ITSELF, THAT IT HAD GROWN INTO AN ELEPHANT AND HENCE AGILITY IS LOST.. SO ONLY WAY FORWARD IS WITH ACQUISITIONS... REMEMBER THE DAYS IT ACQUIRED MOTOROLA... THAT IS THE GOOGLE ONE WISHES FOR
