Founder Led Growth Beyond The Early Stage Startup

dharmesh

This might be the SCARIEST and/or CRAZIEST thing I've done in years. But, here we go... Even before PLG (Product Led Growth) there is usually Founder Led Growth. I've long believed that *everyone* in an early-stage startup should be selling the product and helping customers get value. Even if you've never done sales. *Especially* if you've never done sales. But, there's no reason to limit this to just the early days of a startup. So, in the spirit of curiosity, learning and love, I'm trying something new. I'm going to jump back into "early-stage" mode and help sell HubSpot. Not just sell the vision of HubSpot (which I do all the time), but sell the actual product/platform that we provide to customers. HubSpot is 20 years old and has 280,000+ customers. Why would I do this? Simple, because: I LOVE HUBSPOT! And, I want to share my love with as many other founders and founding teams as I can. Also because I'm competitive and love a challenge. I'm going to track it all and see how many customers I can attract to HubSpot Free or Starter edition. I've got a ton of ideas I want to try that I think will help drive sign-ups. As part of this effort, I'll be creating a series of "founder to founder" videos. Some ideas I have: 1) A "speed-run" of signing up for HubSpot and getting your first contact in there and starting to use it. 2) A demo/screencast of how I *personally* use HubSpot for @AgentDotAi (a @HubSpot Next project). It has 2.5M users and is growing. So, it's a *real* startup with real data. I get to also then show-off how we're using HubSpot with AgentAI to automate some things (like monitoring for VIP signups). 3) WTF is an ACP (Agentic Customer Platform) and does a startup really need one? 4) Why can't I juse vibe code my own CRM? 5) Why wouldn't I just use one of the super-cool AI-native CRM products? Or...any questions that you folks have. Phew! I'm nervous...but excited. If you're already a HubSpot customer, THANK YOU! If not, then give me a chance to convince you. :) Visit: GOHUBSPOT .ai And in the meantime, please reply with your comments, questions and pushbacks for upcoming videos. Off to the races! Thanks for your support.
