HubSpot, a leading inbound marketing and sales software company, announced today the launch of HubSpot for Startups for Series A. The new program is a follow-on to the original HubSpot for Startups program, which was launched to help seed-stage companies around the globe in 2016. In addition to receiving access to HubSpot’s education resources, Series A startups will also receive executive mentorship and 50 percent scholarships to HubSpot marketing and sales software.
The program is currently in beta and is open to Series A startups that have received funding within the last six months from a list of top 100 VCs around the globe. Startups that join the program can fuel their marketing and sales growth entirely through HubSpot, with access to assets like HubSpot’s free CRM, dedicated consulting, 24/7 technical support, and more. The combination of software, support, and mentorship aims to give startups the tools they need to address the challenges of finding and acquiring customers.
“Marketing and sales are dirty words to many startup founders. They’re product people. I get it. But the truth of the matter is: If you want your product to make an impact, marketing and sales are your best friends. They’re your amplifier. They’re your path to scale,” said Pat Grady, partner at Sequoia Capital. “This program with its education, mentorship, and platform is going to help more founders make an impact.”
More than 2,000 startups and 700 seed-stage partners across more than 50 countries have joined HubSpot for Startups since the launch of the program in 2016.
