Million Dollar Pitch Competition

Get ready to showcase your startup's potential for the chance to be flown out to INBOUND 2023 where you will present your startup to a panel of top-tier judges and have an opportunity to secure an investment of up to $1 million US dollars!
Picture this, you have a game-changing business. You want to meet other founders and leading startups, get invaluable feedback, and learn from their successes (and failures). Enter: HubSpot for Startups and HubSpot Ventures’ first-ever pitch competition taking place at INBOUND 2023 this September.
How do you get there?
Applications will be accepted from May 15 through June 16. Six lucky startup leaders will be selected on July 14 and flown out to Boston in September for INBOUND 2023 where they’ll present their business idea to an all-star panel of judges from the startup and investor ecosystem. Presenters will ultimately be considered for an investment of up to a $1 million USD from HubSpot Ventures.
