HBS Association of Boston StartUp Partners

All 3 Tracks (Semifinalists) - Startup Partners is a Board of Directors meeting without the pressure of a Board meeting. SUP sessions are high-touch, low commitment opportunities to tap into the collective wisdom of experienced entrepreneurs and executives (who just happen to be HBA Alums) to help you:

  • Strengthen your business plans
  • Consider strategies for raising capital (but sessions are not for fundraising)
  • Focus your startup’s strategy & clarify customer pain points
  • Gain insights on product-market fit and growing your business
  • Refine your “go to market” plans

HubSpot for Startups

All 3 Tracks (Semifinalists):

  1. A startup with under $2 million in funding
    Get up to 90% off HubSpot software in your first year, 50% off in your second, and 25% off ongoing.
  2. A startup who has raised over $2 million in named funding up to and including Series A
    Get up to 50% off in your first year, and 25% off ongoing.

  • $50K in credits to Mixpanel Growth Plan over 12 months
  • The Winners/Runner-up will be able to meet with a Mixpanel expert for one-on-one office hours to discuss a topic of their choosing as it relates to Mixpanel - implementation, metrics, building reports, support, etc.
