A pitch competition built for builders

This isn’t about perfect decks or polished narratives. It’s about momentum.

We’re looking for founders who are already in motion — talking to customers, testing channels, and pushing their business forward with whatever resources they have.

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

 

Application deadline: June 26th

Who we're looking for

A grow getter doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. They build anyway. You might be:
- Less than $2M in funding raised
- Building a venture backable startup
- Business HQ is located in US or Canada
- Be a member of HubSpot for Startups. It's free! Joining is easy (< 5 mins).

Frequently Asked Questions

HubSpot for Startups is a global program that helps early-stage companies grow smarter and scale faster with education, founder-friendly pricing (up to 90% off), and access to a network of partners, investors, and tools — including this exclusive AI Tech Stack bundle.

1. Business Clarity Can you explain who you help, what problem you solve, and how you make money in one sentence? Founders who know their customer deeply stand out immediately.
2. Traction and Momentum What have you built so far? We want to see real signals: paying customers, active experiments, hard-won lessons. Tell us about the challenge you're fighting right now, not the one you're afraid of.
3. Founder-Market Fit Why are you the right person to solve this? Your background, your insight, your unfair advantage, whatever makes you uniquely suited to win in this space.
4. Grant Deployment Plan This one matters a lot. How would $2,500 change what you're already doing? The best answers are specific. "This gets us three more months of testing our top channel" beats "we'd invest in marketing."

No worries! Sometimes it can take up to 10 minutes (or a bit longer) for the access email to land in your inbox. Be sure to check your spam or promotions folder, just in case. If you still don’t see it, reach out to the HubSpot for Startups support team for help.
