Build Your Startup's Growth Engine with Fractional CMO Support

This is a pilot program from HubSpot For Startups designed to give 3 Seed-Series A B2B tech startups access to elite fractional CMO support from Fabrice Renucci.

1 Winner receives 15 hours of fractional CMO support 

2 Runners-Up each receive a 2.5-hour individual session focused on your biggest marketing challenge.

This is not a HubSpot product offer — it's genuine, hands-on marketing support to help Series A founders solve GTM and build scalable demand generation systems.

Step 1: Sign up to the HubSpot for Startups program here (no purchase or credit cared required), and complete the application form above by December 31st, 2025.

Step 2: Applications will be reviewed based on:

• Eligibility criteria (Seed-Series A B2B Startups headquartered in EMEA)
• You'll need to complete a short form outlining your marketing challenges and goals for this program

Step 3: Winners will be announced in early January 2026.

Step 4: The winning startup's fractional CMO engagement begins from mid-January 2026. Runner-up sessions will be scheduled within the same timeframe.

No. This program is open to all qualifying Series A startups with a company headquarters in EMEA— whether you're a HubSpot customer or not. To qualify for the offer, you do need to apply for the HubSpot for Startups program (with no purchase necessary). 

 Fabrice's focus is on your GTM strategy and execution, not HubSpot platform purchase or adoption.

No. This program is completely free and fully sponsored by the HubSpot For Startups team.

The >15 hours of fractional CMO support (valued at up to $10,000) and the GTM workshops (valued at up to $2,000 each) are provided at no cost to selected startups.

Any additional engagement with Fabrice beyond what's included in this pilot would be a separate, private arrangement between your startup and him — but there's no obligation or expectation for that.

Fabrice will work as an embedded strategic partner tailored entirely to your marketing needs. This isn't a generic consulting playbook — it's bespoke support based on your startup stage, vertical, and target customers.

Typical engagement areas include:

• Strategic Foundation: GTM audit, ICP validation, positioning refinement, messaging frameworks
• Execution Build: Demand gen engine design, channel strategy
• Hands-On Implementation: Fabrice doesn't just advise — he builds alongside you

The exact scope will be defined collaboratively after selection, based on where you'll get the most value.

The two runner-up startups will each receive a deep-dive, 2.5-hour placement with Fabrice focused on their biggest marketing challenge.

This isn't a surface-level consultation. You'll walk away with:

• Clear diagnosis of what's broken or missing in your GTM
• Actionable, prioritized execution plan you can implement immediately
• Frameworks and best practices tailored to your stage and vertical

Think of it as a concentrated strategy sprint that gives you clarity and momentum, even if you don't win the full >15-hour engagement.

You're a great fit if:

• You're a Seed- Series A B2B tech startup (venture-backed) with your HQ in EMEA
• You've raised funding and now need to execute and grow
• You lack expert support or are inefficient re your GTM strategy
• You need GTM leadership, but can't justify a £150K+ full-time CMO yet
• You're coachable, execution-focused, and ready to build proper systems

You're NOT a fit if:

• You're looking for someone to "just do social media" or tactical execution only
• You need HubSpot implementation or technical support (this isn't that)
• You're pre-product-market fit and still figuring out your ICP
• You're not willing to commit founder time to strategic collaboration
