CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Not that many years ago, HubSpot, a leading inbound marketing and sales software company, was a startup with a dream. But between us, getting there was a long road with limited resources and a desperate need for strong marketing and sales performance. Inbound gave us a competitive edge, and we want to share the advantage with other startups looking to get ahead.

In order to do just that, we're excited to introduce HubSpot for Startups, previously known as Jumpstart. The program, designed for startups working with accelerators, incubators and entrepreneurial organizations, helps small businesses gain traction on their marketing and sales at an accelerated pace -- with a 90% discount on HubSpot products.
Accelerators, incubators and entrepreneurial organizations can help participants scale and enjoy a number of benefits through HubSpot for Startups, including:
"HubSpot for Startups allows young, growth-driven companies to maximize their marketing and sales efforts right from the start and helps set them on a path to success," said Itai Boublil, Global Marketing Lead at Impact Hub Network, and former CMO at Impact Hub Singapore. "At Impact Hub we build ecosystems that inspire, connect and empower people to realize enterprising ideas for sustainable impact, supporting them from early-stage startups to mature ventures in their local market and beyond. The access to the HubSpot software, and the support that comes along with it through the HubSpot for Startups program is a complete game changer in helping to make that happen."
The benefits for startups are extensive. In fact, many early businesses can fuel their growth entirely through HubSpot with access to remarkable Marketing and Sales assets including:
"HubSpot for Startups has enabled us to test and scale new campaigns rapidly without losing the personal touch that is so valuable to early-stage growth. We're able to automate, personalize, and gain invaluable insight into our target market, all within a startup budget. Using HubSpot for Startups has been like hiring a full marketing team who are all willing to take a massive pay cut for their first two years with the company," said Dave Longwell, Director of Marketing at Rent Like A Champion.
And we've already started. In 2015, we saw 150% year-over-year program growth. We now have more than 250 certified member accelerators and incubators, with accelerators, incubators and startups in 26 countries.
"I'm excited to continue supporting startup communities with our HubSpot for Startups program," said HubSpot Co-founder and CTO Dharmesh Shah. "HubSpot is dedicated to helping high-growth businesses grow and succeed. We've been there, and this program is a way to expand our commitment to entrepreneurs and help excellent new businesses get ahead."
As a former startup, HubSpot is positioned to understand many of the unique pain points that young companies face. We also know that startups have enough to worry about without losing sleep over how to set up exceptional marketing and sales systems.
The good news is, we made mistakes along the way, and learned valuable lessons that we're eager to share with a new crop of companies. HubSpot for Startups gives small businesses the chance to receive remarkable guidance on marketing and sales and ensures that they have one less thing to worry about while getting off the ground.
Most importantly, HubSpot for Startups empowers small businesses to focus down their marketing and sales efforts with products that are easy to use (and love).
