HubSpot for Startups can meaningfully cut the cost of your CRM and marketing stack in the years it matters most. The application itself, though, takes real time to get right — and getting it wrong can mean leaving discount on the table.
That's where we come in. As a HubSpot Gold Partner and one of the agencies HubSpot itself consults on its Partner Advisory Council, we've been through this process more times than almost anyone. We'll run your eligibility check, manage the submission, and make sure the application reflects everything that qualifies you for the best available terms.
It costs nothing. We do it because it's a genuinely useful way to start a relationship with a startup, and because a startup running on properly configured HubSpot tools tends to need us again later.
Why go through us rather than applying directly
Expert guidance
We know the HubSpot ecosystem and the application requirements from the inside — not from a help article, but from sitting on the council that helps shape the programme.
A seamless process
We handle the complexity of the application — the detail, the documentation, the back-and-forth — so you can stay focused on running your business.
Maximised benefits
Applications submitted well tend to receive better terms. We make sure yours reflects everything you're eligible for, so you get the highest discount and resource allocation available.
Not sure if you qualify?
Book a free consultation and we'll check your eligibility in one conversation.
What HubSpot for Startups actually gives you
The programme was built specifically for early-stage companies — a genuine discount on enterprise-grade tooling, at the exact moment cash flow is tightest and the right systems matter most.
CRM tools
Organise and analyse every customer interaction properly — instead of a spreadsheet held together by whoever set it up first.
Marketing automation
Streamline the path from lead capture through to conversion, without needing a dedicated ops hire to keep it running.
Sales enablement
Give your sales team the tools to close faster — sequences, tracking and pipeline visibility from day one rather than year two.
A meaningful discount on the tools you'll need anyway — with no cost to apply
How the process works
Three steps, and we do the heavy lifting on two of them.
Eligibility check
A quick assessment to confirm your startup meets the programme's criteria. This takes minutes, not days — we'll tell you honestly if it's not a fit rather than string out a process that won't land.
Consultation
A short call where we walk through exactly what's required and what to expect. You'll leave knowing precisely what happens next and roughly when.
Application submission
We handle the submission itself — accurate, complete, and optimised for approval. You'll be kept updated while HubSpot reviews it.
Eligibility, in brief

You might have some questions on your mind. Let us help.
What are the eligibility requirements?
Startups with under $2 million in funding and revenue are typically eligible for significant discounts through the programme. If you're close to that threshold or unsure, our quick eligibility check will confirm it in minutes.
How long does the application process take?
The review itself typically takes about a week once submitted. We'll keep you updated throughout, so you're never wondering where things stand.
What does Hat Media actually charge for this?
Nothing. We manage the entire application process at no cost. It's a genuine no-strings offer — though many startups we help this way do go on to work with us on their HubSpot setup afterward.
Do we need to already be using HubSpot?
No. Most startups we help through this process are setting up HubSpot for the first time. Part of what we offer afterward is making sure it's configured properly from day one, rather than needing a rebuild later.
Why does Hat Media offer this for free?
It's a genuinely useful way to start a relationship with a startup at the moment their systems matter most — and because we've been a HubSpot partner since 2014, this process is second nature to us rather than extra work.
Your pathway to growth with HubSpot starts here.
Choosing Hat Media means your startup doesn't just get access to powerful tools — it gets strategic guidance built to accelerate growth from day one.
