CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- HubSpot, a
leading growth platform, and Greycroft, a seed-to-growth
venture capital firm, are partnering to launch ELEVATE. This
virtual accelerator course teaches startups fundamental growth and
scaling strategies. In 2019, ELEVATE received more than 2,700
sign-ups for the course and saw 400 applications for a final pitch
contest.
ELEVATE is a four-week virtual accelerator course that begins on
June 15, 2020. The program is free
and allows participants to complete at the flexibility of their
schedules. During the program, experts at HubSpot, Greycroft and
companies including Lightricks, Unbabel, and more, will lead
various sessions for registrants. Each lesson will be aligned with
a stage of the customer lifecycle journey: Attract, Engage, and
Delight.
After formal lessons conclude, participants will have the
opportunity to learn how to pitch their startup. There will be one
lesson entirely dedicated to the pitch process.
"Being named the winner of the ELEVATE pitch contest was a
complete game-changer for me," said Ty'Lisha Summers, the
co-founder of SpenDebt, a financial technology company
designed to assist people in paying off debt by attaching
micropayments to everyday transactions. "As a startup founder, the
one thing we all wish we had more of is time. Given the totally
virtual nature of ELEVATE, I was able to learn invaluable lessons
that helped propel SpenDebt to our next phase of growth."
HubSpot is committed to helping startups grow better - through
its HubSpot for Startups program, products focused on creating
remarkable customer experiences, and its $30M HubSpot Ventures venture fund.
"Through strategic investments, partnerships, our ecosystem, and
our educational programs at HubSpot, we are committed to the growth
of other companies," said Andrew
Lindsay, VP of corporate development and business
development at HubSpot. "We want to be able to grow with our
customers, partners, and investments, and be with them during every
step of the startup to scale-up journey. Given the success of
ELEVATE last year, the decision was clear for us to relaunch the
program in 2020. I'm looking forward to the next cohort of startups
that take part in ELEVATE this year."
