A passion for start-ups like HubSpot from university entrepreneurship

18 January 2011 - Dharmesh Shah and Brian Halligan, the co-founders of HubSpot , were MIT classmates.

Both Brian and Dharmesh took the New Enterprises course (fondly known as 15.390) focused on entrepreneurship. HubSpot was kicked-off, in part, during the New Enterprises class in Spring 2006, so the course has particular significance to them.

As a technology transfer agency working with universities, we at Bioscience Bridge closely follow success stories of "sales and marketing for startups."

When working with early-stage technologies we use a proven process designed to configure the technologies’ “road map” called Strategic GPS® Navigation Process. This process:

  • Identifies the key targets
  • Articulates the current situation (Where we are)
  • Defines the desired objective (Where we want to be)
  • Conveys the over-arching strategy
  • Delineates the milestones
  • Outlines the key tactics
  • Bridges the science and the business in a comfortable atmosphere
