CULTURE CODE
THE
Creating a company we love.
v24 13.09.07
WHAT’S CULTURE? A set of shared beliefs, values and practices.
A great culture helps attract great people.
THE HUBSPOT CULTURE CODE. 1. We are maniacal about our mission and our
metrics. 2. We Solve For The Customer. 3. We are radically and uncomfortably transparent. 4. We give ourselves the autonomy to be awesome. 5. We are unreasonably selective about our peers. 6. We invest in individual mastery and market value. 7. We defy conventional “wisdom” as it’s often
unwise. 8. We speak the truth and face the facts. 9. We believe in work+life, not work vs. life. 10. We are a perpetual work in progress.
TRANSPARENCY
3!We are radically and uncomfortably transparent.
WE HAVE THE MOST INTERESTING WIKI ON THE PLANET.*
Examples of things we share and discuss: • Financials (cash balance, burn-rate, P&L, etc.) • Board meeting deck • Management meeting deck • “Strategic” topics • Lore & Mythology (the funniest page on the wiki) *Unverified claim
AUTONOMY
Just because someone made a mistake years ago doesn’t mean we need a policy. WE DON’T PENALIZE THE MANY FOR THE MISTAKES OF THE FEW.
We only protect against really big stuff.
HAVING AUTONOMY DOESN’T MEAN CRAP IF YOU DON’T ACT. DON’T OVER-THINK IT.
JFDI. (Just F*#king Do It)

WORK IN PROGRESS
WE ARE NEVER DONE. Never done iterating. Never done learning. Never done rethinking.
THANK YOU.
