From the press release of HubSpot acquiring Clearbit - "Upon completion of the transaction, Clearbit will become a wholly owned subsidiary of HubSpot and eventually be integrated as an offering within HubSpot’s customer platform." Wow 😯. HubSpot has made a serious move with this one. Not only are they steadily encroaching on Salesforce's market share, it looks as if they're taking on ZoomInfo now too. Very intrigued to see 1) How HubSpot will integrate Clearbit's intelligence into the platform 2) How they plan to package it What are everyone's thoughts on this?? #hubspot #clearbit #acquisition

🚀 Big News Alert! HubSpot's groundbreaking acquisition of Clearbit is set to reshape the future of business operations, and HuboExpert has some compelling predictions on how this partnership could revolutionize the landscape. #HubSpotClearbit #BusinessRevolution #DataHub #DataEnrichment #AIApplications #CRMPlatform #SalesforceCompetition #StartUpAdvantages #BusinessPredictions #RevenueOperations #FutureofBusiness #HuboExpertInsights

With the news that HubSpot's acquisition of Clearbit has closed, I thought I'd share what I think is an overlooked aspect in everyone's takes on the subject. Most of those who have expressed nearly unanimous excitement for the acquisition compare Clearbit to ZoomInfo and Apollo. Consider this: - HubSpot bought ClearBit for $150 million - ZoomInfo is valued at $5.6 billion - Apollo closed its Series D in August, raising $100 million at a $1.6 billion valuation - In 2019, Clearbit closed its Series A for $17 million (its last raise) at a $250 million valuation. Look, I have no unique knowledge about the transaction, but 3 things are pretty clear to me: - Clearbit needed to sell - HubSpot got a nice Filene's Basement discount - Clearbit has clearly not kept pace with the leaders in its segment So, what does the transaction mean? Candidly, I don't know. Is this good news for HubSpot users? Very likely. But, at the same time, I think the pompons and game-changer proclamations should likely be shelved. What do you think?

Many of us will be buzzing about this next week at MOps-Apalooza I’ve been tinkering with the old HubSpot prospects tool lately, wondering why there haven’t been any innovations or anything in that space. And today the news breaks that HubSpot is acquiring Clearbit . First party data + strong b2b third party data is a powerful combo. HubSpot continues to straddle the b2b and b2c ecosystem with innovations that support both environments. But this acquisition for the b2b business is a pretty big deal. It’ll be interesting to see it fold into the platform over the few years. What do you think about this news? #hubspot #clearbit #martech #acquisition

Hubspot announced they’re acquiring Clearbit, a strategic partnership years in the making! In a market where venture capital has become more conservative, we’re seeing public tech companies like HubSpot seizing strategic acquisition opportunities. The trend with these acquisitions, like Atlassian and Loom, are they are popular existing partner integrations, where detailed data on customer adoption and team alignment are already available. You don’t need to leave anything to chance. This merger is also set to supercharge HubSpot’s platform, a few things I love: 🏃♂️Accessing the RevOps team: Salesforce is the dominant player in B2B CRM for RevOps teams, but this is also squarely where Clearbit operates. Clearbit brings over 400,000 customers and a suite of advanced tools for sales, marketing, and operations which help Hubspot chip away at Salesforce’s grip on the market. 🌐 Seamless Integration: Clearbit already has huge adoption among Hubspot customers and vice versa. The product teams have already been thinking for years about how to improve Hubspot with actionable insights and a more profound data context. 🛠️ AI Acceleration: Clearbit has been at the forefront of leveraging AI to transform unstructured data into standardized datasets, making it a way to fast-track HubSpot’s own AI initiatives. This acquisition is a huge win for both companies, and their customers! Congratulations to Kelly Sarabyn Katie Lambert Akul Gupta Kelsey Aina Christen Luciano 📈Juhi Saha - Your Partnerships Copilot Ashley Taylor and everyone on both teams. It is also a call to Partnership Leaders at all companies to showcase these success stories to your executive teams. It's time to step into a strategic role in the build, buy, partner conversations. #partnerships #hubspot #clearbit #acquisition
