HubSpot is best in class at marketing and CRM. It's delivering a lot of value, the growth numbers just aren't as good as they used to be. It boomed in 2021 and then tapered off in 2022
- lumost 4y agoI think the parent is noting that there is a rush for every tech company to taper staff via layoffs right now. However it's unclear if the 7% layoff materially affects HubSpot's trajectory. HubSpot listed a 100MM dollar outlay for restructuring expenses. If they had simply maintained a hiring freeze for the next year would they have ended up in a materially different spot? These 7% layoffs seem somewhat dubious from a business value perspective, the growing consensus is that this is actually about employer vs. employee control. Alternative explanation is that interest rates are about to beak 6% at which point it doesn't make much sense to be invested in any money losing tech firm.
