4. When Dharmesh and I started HubSpot in 2006, we knew two things:
1. The marketing playbook used by most companies was broken, and;
2. We wanted to reinvent that playbook and enable companies everywhere to implement it.
We had no idea, however, that the HubSpot community would take off with the speed and
passion that it has. Every day we are humbled by the success that our customers and
partners achieve, and this past year is no exception.
2011 was the best year in our short history. The HubSpot community broke new records by
generating over 12.5 million leads, tracking 2.4 BILLION page views, and creating over
100,000 new landing pages. We welcomed over 100 new employees and 2000 new
customers, gained $32 million in funding, acquired two remarkable companies, and took
home 15 industry awards. The same year, we launched the HubSpot App Marketplace,
opening the HubSpot API up to the entire world, and making it possible for everyone to
customize and extend HubSpot’s all-in-one software to meet the needs of every marketing
person in every industry at every size company. We even managed to take home a Guinness
World Record for the Largest Online Seminar, with nearly 11,000 people attending.
I won’t deny that I’m proud of what we collectively accomplished in 2011. But it’s not pride that
helps me bound out of bed in the morning—it’s excitement about the milestones we have yet
to reach and appreciation for the opportunity we have to make marketing simpler, better, more
measurable—and infinitely more lovable—than it has been for decades past.
It’s with gratitude and joy that I share this overview of HubSpot’s best year to date. Thanks to
everyone in the HubSpot community—customers, employees, partners, investors, fans,
journalists, competitors, and critics—for your part in making 2011 another record year in our
mission to transform marketing.
Here’s to a remarkable 2012.
Sincerely,
Brian Halligan
