HubSpot’s founding CRO Mark Roberge shares a data driven framework for knowing when startups are ready to accelerate growth.

In this episode of the Pender Ventures podcast, host Maria Pacella, Pender Ventures Managing Partner, sits down with Mark Roberge, HubSpot's Founding Chief Revenue Officer, Senior Lecturer at Harvard Business School, and Co-Founder of Stage 2 Capital, to unpack the framework behind one of his most-watched talks. They cover why founders consistently misdefine product-market fit, how to build a leading indicator of retention for any business, the shift from founder-led selling to go-to-market fit, common hiring mistakes at each stage of scale, and what AI is really changing in go-to-market.
