Greetings,

I'm Dharmesh and I love HubSpot.

This should not come as a surprise. I co-founded the company almost 20 years ago and have been CTO (Chief Technology Officer) since then.

Before we continue, a quick note: This is not a thinly veiled attempt at convincing you to try/buy HubSpot CRM. It's not veiled at all. I AM going to try to convince you. But with only the best intent, because I love startups and their founders too.

Speaking of startups, if you're part of a Fortune 500 company with more employees than medium-sized cities or small countries, this is not for you. You have some great options for a CRM, but HubSpot is not one of them. HubSpot is built for companies with 1-2,000 people.

So, let's jump in. Why do you need a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system anyways? Because otherwise key information about your business (namely your customer data) is otherwise scattered across inboxes, spreadsheets and maybe even notetaking apps. Trust me, I've been there, done that (in a former life).

You can get away with it for a while, but as you grow the number of customers you have (that is the plan, right?) and maybe even grow your team, it's going to be important to get your data organized and your team coordinated. Growing pains are bad enough. You don't need to make them worse. Especially when you could have *easily* (and inexpensively) put in a foundation that will scale with you.

That's where HubSpot comes in.

We have over 280,000 companies that use HubSpot to help them grow and scale better. Most of those companies are typically just like yours including a *bunch* of startups. Including amazing AI companies like Lovable.

OK, so what *is* HubSpot, really?

HubSpot is an agentic customer platform (ACP).

You may not be familiar with the term "agentic customer platform" (ADCP) yet. Understandable, since HubSpot coined the term and as far as we know, we're the only ACP out there.

HubSpot is a customer platform that unifies all of your customer data across marketing, sales, customer service and operations. You know, things like your contacts, companies, deals, tickets...everything. And, we have 1,400 app integrations so you can bring data from your most critical third-party apps into HubSpot.

But we don't unify data just to gaze at it lovingly. We do it so we can *act* on it. Create reports, get to it via API, drive marketing campaigns, drive personalized outreach, drive agentic actions...all to drive GROWTH.

Speaking of AI agents, here's the most important thing you need to know: To succeed with agents, you need give them context. The smartest AI model in the world is not going to be of much use to you if they don't know anything about you, your business or your customers. LLMs (Large Language Models) know a lot about the world, but HubSpot knows about *your* world. Our platform captures every customer interaction and activity you have. Every web page they visited, every email they clicked on, every sales call transcript, every support ticket submitted. ALL OF IT. In one, brilliantly unified database built from the ground-up to be cohesive, coherent and legible.

But, the best way to really see the power of HubSpot is to *see* the power of HubSpot. You can sign-up for HubSpot Free (it's not a free trial, it's actually free). It'll take you a long way.

Thanks for your support.
