HubSpot users will soon have direct access to ClearBit’s third-party data on millions of businesses. Updated with further commentary.

HubSpot announced today that it is buying B2B data provider ClearBit, bolstering the Boston-based CRM platform with third-party company data from millions of businesses.


In addition to that HubSpot will be getting the other company’s 400,0000+ users and more than 1,500 business customers. Terms of the deal have not been announced yet. ClearBit was valued at $ 250 million as of January 2019, according to data from Pitchbook 


“By joining forces with HubSpot, the industry’s most loved B2B customer platform, we will unlock a whole new level of value for our customers and help all of B2B grow better,” Matt Sornson, co-founder and CEO of Clearbit, said in a statement. 


 


Clearbit has been available to HubSpot customers via the HubSpot App Marketplace since 2019. When the sale is finalized, Clearbit will be a wholly owned subsidiary of HubSpot and eventually integrated into HubSpot’s customer platform.


 “HubSpot’s AI-powered customer platform combined with Clearbit’s data will create a powerful, winning combination for our customers,” Yamini Rangan, CEO of HubSpot, said in a statement.


Why we care. On the one hand, integrating ClearBit’s business data into HubSpot will likely be a significant benefit for users. On the other hand, ClearBit’s absence as an independent data source may decrease competition in that space, driving up prices.
