Coming This June…

Behind every fast-growing startup is the ability to successfully attract, engage, and delight customers.

To do so, high-growth companies must focus on adding value to customers at every stage of their journey. Inbound marketing is a well known methodology for achieving customer value.

General Catalyst and HubSpot are excited to announce ELEVATE, our online accelerator to help early-stage startups learn the principles of inbound marketing and create a growth playbook tailored to the needs of their companies. Startups will be invited to attend an exclusive, four week program where they will join MasterClasses led by HubSpot experts to learn inbound methodology fundamentals, and case studies led by General Catalyst portfolio founders and executives to better conceptualize how to apply these principles. In the fourth week, startups will complete a MasterClass and case study focused specifically on fundraising led by General Catalyst investors and portfolio founders.

At the end of the program, startups looking to raise capital will have the opportunity to submit their pitch for funding.

The program is open to anyone who is interested, however, the content is curated specifically with pre-seed and seed-stage startups looking to amplify their brand through the inbound methodology.
