The program

How much is the discount, and who qualifies?

HubSpot runs two discount tiers, set by how your startup is funded and backed. Both apply to Professional and Enterprise products.

Funded startups
90% off
your first year

For startups that have raised pre-seed, seed, or Series A funding (not Series B or later), affiliated with an approved partner or with venture funding HubSpot can verify.

Year two: 50% off · Year three: 25% off

Community-backed startups
30% off
your first year

For startups associated with one of HubSpot's approved entrepreneurial organizations: accelerators, incubators, VCs, and startup communities.

Year two: 15% off

The eligibility criteria

Funding stage

The 90% tier is for startups that have raised pre-seed, seed, or Series A funding. Series B and later rounds do not qualify for the top tier.

Backing or affiliation

You qualify through an approved accelerator, incubator, VC, or entrepreneurial organization (HubSpot works with 4,000+ of them), or through venture funding HubSpot can verify via sources like Crunchbase or PitchBook.

Product tier

The discount applies to HubSpot Professional and Enterprise products, not Starter. If Starter is the right size for you today, we will tell you that instead.

Program terms are set by HubSpot and can change. Not sure which side you fall on? That is exactly what the form is for - we check your case against the current rules and reply within one business day.

Why a partner

Why apply through Resonate?

You can apply to HubSpot directly. Going through a program partner costs you nothing extra and adds four things:

Eligibility checked before you apply

We read your funding stage and backers against the current program criteria and tell you which tier is realistic before anything is submitted. No wasted applications.

We handle the application with you

As a HubSpot for Startups program partner and Diamond Solutions Partner, we run the application with HubSpot and follow it until the discount is applied to your subscription.

A portal set up for your stage

A discounted subscription you never implement is still wasted money. Our onboarding sets up CRM, pipelines, and reporting sized to a startup team, and can replace HubSpot's mandatory onboarding fee ($3,000 Professional / $6,000 Enterprise) with hands-on implementation.

A fallback if you do not qualify

If the program is not a fit, we negotiate partner-channel pricing with HubSpot on your behalf - see all four discount paths in our discounts and pricing guide.

Common questions

HubSpot for Startups FAQ

How much is the HubSpot for Startups discount?+
Startups that have raised pre-seed, seed, or Series A funding can get 90% off HubSpot Professional or Enterprise in year one, then 50% off in year two and 25% off in year three. Startups associated with an approved entrepreneurial organization qualify for 30% off year one and 15% off year two.
Who qualifies for the 90% discount?+
You need to have raised pre-seed, seed, or Series A funding (Series B or later does not qualify for this tier), and either be affiliated with one of HubSpot's approved partner organizations or have venture funding HubSpot can verify through sources like Crunchbase or PitchBook.
I have not raised venture funding. Can I still get a discount?+
Often, yes. If you are part of an approved accelerator, incubator, or entrepreneurial organization, you can qualify for the 30% tier. If neither tier fits, we negotiate partner-channel pricing with HubSpot on your behalf - that is part of what we do as a Solutions Partner. Submit the form and we will tell you which path is realistic.
Does the discount apply to HubSpot Starter?+
No. HubSpot for Startups discounts apply to Professional and Enterprise products. If Starter is the right size for your team today, we will say so - it is already inexpensive - and we will check what the program can do for you when you are ready to move up.
I already pay for HubSpot. Can I use the program?+
The program is aimed at startups moving onto HubSpot Professional or Enterprise, and eligibility for existing customers depends on your current subscription. Send the form anyway: we check your case against the current program rules, and where the program does not apply we negotiate partner-channel discounts instead.
What does Resonate's help cost?+
Checking your eligibility and applying costs nothing. Onboarding and implementation are separate paid engagements if you want them - and when you buy Professional or Enterprise, HubSpot requires an onboarding fee anyway ($3,000 or $6,000), which a partner onboarding can often replace with actual implementation work.
