HubSpot’s annual INBOUND event is just around the corner and this year it will feature an exciting new addition for entrepreneurs and fans alike: a pitch-off event. The inaugural “pitch off” event is for eligible entrepreneurs, who will apply in advance and the top pitches will share their stories at INBOUND, in two live competition rounds. Think “Shark Tank,” live from the INBOUND stage.

Boston is one of the innovation hubs of the world and each year HubSpot attracts
thousands of people to the city for INBOUND. With more than 14,000 marketers,
salespeople, early adopters, and potential investors from around the world in attendance, the event is an ideal place for upcoming startups to share their story.

Last January, HubSpot officially opened its Portsmouth, NH office. Affectionately known as “PortSpot,” the office has become an invaluable resource in helping HubSpot help businesses around the world succeed with inbound marketing and sales.

HubSpot officially opened the doors of its Singapore office and  announced it will hire 150 Singapore-based employees over the next three years. HubSpot’s Singapore office - affectionately known as SingSpot -- joins Sydney, Australia as the second HubSpot office in Asia Pacific and will serve as the company’s regional headquarters.

Today, HubSpot announced a commitment to hiring an additional 320 Dublin-based employees over the next three years. In order to accommodate that growth, the company officially opened its new office space at One Dockland Central, located just around the corner from the original HubSpot Dublin offices at North Quay Wall.

Not that many years ago (nearly ten, but who’s counting?), HubSpot was a startup with a dream. But between us and that dream was a long road, 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.

Here at HubSpot, we love to equip businesses with the tools they need to grow and succeed. Of course, that would never be possible without the invaluable help of our 2,700+ Agency Partners. To celebrate their hard work, we introduced the quarterly HubSpot Agency Partner Client Awards, which recognize Partners for remarkable client work both domestically and internationally.

We’re incredibly proud to announce that InboundCycle has reached Diamond status withinHubSpot’s Partner Agency Program, which empowers agencies to grow their business with integrated inbound marketing strategies, solutions, and services. The HubSpot Agency Partner program has more than 2,500 member agencies worldwide, nine of which have reached Diamond status. InboundCycle is a Spanish based agency in Barcelona and the first international agency in the program to reach Diamond status.

Watch out world, here we come! HubSpot is pleased to announce that we will open an office in Tokyo, Japan during Q3 of 2016. The Japanese office will support HubSpot’s growth across Asia Pacific and increase its ability to help businesses in the region transform the way they attract, engage, and delight customers.

HubSpot is excited to announce that our Cambridge headquarters have expanded to a second building in order to accommodate our ever-growing team.

There’s no place like home -- that’s why we’re staying put! HubSpot is happy to share that we’ll continue to call Cambridge home as we’ve renewed our lease in The Davenport building at 25 First Street.
