Acquisition announced. HubSpot will acquire intent-data startup Warmly for undisclosed terms.
Product continuity. Warmly contracts, pricing and integrations remain unchanged for now.
Customer impact. Deeper HubSpot integration is planned, but immediate changes are minimal.
HubSpot agreed to acquire Warmly, a startup known for person-level website intent identification and AI-powered go-to-market agents, the companies announced June 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
According to Warmly's announcement, existing contracts, pricing, account teams, product experiences and integrations will remain unchanged for current customers. Warmly CEO Max Greenwald said the longer-term ambition is to connect Warmly's context and agent capabilities across HubSpot's customer platform.
The deal adds Warmly's Inbound Agent and TAM Agent to HubSpot's AI portfolio as the CRM provider pushes deeper into agentic go-to-market workflows.
Warmly's CEO Calls the Deal a Full-Circle Moment Seven Years in the Making
Max Greenwald, co-founder and CEO of Warmly, reflected on the acquisition in a LinkedIn post, tracing Warmly's path from an early-stage idea through six product pivots before generative AI breakthroughs finally made its vision workable. He noted that HubSpot was the company's very first integration back in 2023, and that the partnership has scaled steadily since, growing from 20 connected customers that year to 223 paying customers integrated with HubSpot today.
Greenwald credited HubSpot's Data Hub, Smart CRM and dashboard tools for supporting Warmly's agents as they booked meetings, de-anonymized site visitors and built pipeline reporting for go-to-market leaders. He thanked his customers, employees and co-founders Alan, Carina, Keegan, Ryan and Val, and welcomed new HubSpot colleagues including Angela DeFranco, Richa, Jared, Duncan and CEO Yamini Rangan as the teams combine efforts on AI-native go-to-market technology.
"The gap between building demand and winning deals is one of the hardest problems in GTM, and Warmly has cracked it in a way that directly benefits HubSpot customers. We're excited to welcome the team to HubSpot," said Angela DeFranco, GM, VP of Product, HubSpot

Recent HubSpot News
HubSpot has repositioned itself as an AI-first "Agentic Customer Platform" since a potential Google deal collapsed in mid-2024. The company's April 2026 Spotlight event delivered more than 100 updates, headlined by HubSpot Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), which tracks brand visibility across AI answer engines, alongside Smart Deal Progression and expanded Breeze AI agents.
The AEO push is data-driven: HubSpot reported organic traffic for its customers fell 27% year over year while AI referral traffic tripled. The launch was bolstered by HubSpot's acquisition of XFunnel, an AEO platform.
In a notable pricing shift, HubSpot also moved two Breeze agents to pay-per-result pricing, charging $1 per recommended lead for its Prospecting Agent and $0.50 per resolution for its Customer Agent.
Financially, HubSpot remains on strong footing. Q1 2026 delivered $881 million in revenue, up 23%, beating EPS consensus. Yet shares have fallen roughly 48% year-to-date as investors weigh generative AI's threat to HubSpot's per-seat business model.
AI Agents & Go-to-Market: The Evidence
AI agents are delivering measurable gains in resolution speed, cost reduction and retention as enterprise teams automate inbound and outbound workflows. These gains touch customer experience strategy at every layer of the funnel.
Intent Routing & Context Continuity
AI-driven intent classification and routing reduce resolution time by eliminating queue-bouncing. As AI reshapes customer support operations, major platforms now organize around unified customer profiles rather than discrete tickets, giving agents full interaction context from the first touchpoint.
Personalization & CRM Integration
AI enables real-time content adaptation based on individual behavior, moving beyond static segmentation. AI agents integrated with marketing automation can adjust campaigns faster and optimize content based on live performance, addressing the long-standing gap between customer data platform data and campaign execution.
Governance & Trust Controls
Governed AI agents constrain large language models with business logic and human-in-the-loop oversight. This design pattern is gaining traction as enterprises push AI into customer-facing workflows that carry compliance risk.
Agentic CX capabilities add memory and orchestration layers suited to multi-step engagement.
