Why I Chose HubSpot: Thoughts From HubSpot’s New GM & VP of Service Hub
This past Sunday my daughter asked me “Mommy, how work?” She is two-and-a-half, and going through a phase where she has too many questions and even ...
When I started working on the Platform Team here at HubSpot, one of the big goals that I wanted to see us hit was to have a real company be built and achieve success (by their standards) by building apps and services on the HubSpot Platform. Today, we can say with confidence that we've reached that goal with a few different companies, but two that i'll highlight here are LyntonWeb and Zery's (Interact Media).
Founded by Daniel Lynton in Houston, TX back in 1999, LyntonWeb has recently seen a slew of growth in revenue and employees after beginning to develop apps on the HubSpot Platform. They have focused primarily on the integration side of the HubSpot app development world, providing CRM and E-commerce integrations to HubSpot customers and offering a ton of value. Lynton's apps have done so well here that it's become standard practice for the sales and consulting teams to make sure new customers have the integration apps they'll need.
The growth of the company in the past couple years has been impressive to watch, as we can see by the graph below which measures head count of the company:
Looking at the integration apps that the LyntonWeb team has engineered is also interesting, as we see a diverse set of apps that they work with and provide apps and services around:
Zery's started as a a blogging service in the HubSpot Services Marketplace, but really found lots of success from building a canvas app in the HubSpot App Marketplace. The premise of the Zery's app is to provide on demand content marketing (literally blog posts and other marketing content) for very reasonable prices. Thus far the results have been great for the app and the reception awesome from HubSpot customers. Here are some stats that represent this success:
- 55% growth rate in revenue from the HubSpot canvas app.
- Only 10 days development time on their app to adapt it to the HubSpot App Marketplace.
- 750+ total app installations to date.
Zery's is one of our fastest growing and most successful apps to date.
Having successful companies growing and profiting from building on our Platform is one of the ultimate marks of success for any software platform. We plan on continuing to work to empower more success and growth for companies building on HubSpot.
