HubSpot

Inbound marketing software

HubSpot is a software company and platform offering tools for marketing, sales, and customer service—particularly email automation, customer relationship management (CRM), and content management.

The name suggests a central hub for business operations.

Founded in 2006, it became synonymous with "inbound marketing," the strategy of attracting customers through content rather than cold outreach: We moved all our leads to HubSpot.
