n the Q2 2021 investor letter of Alger, the fund mentioned HubSpot, Inc. (NYSE: HUBS). Here is what the fund said:

HubSpot provides a cloud-based marketing and sales software platform that enables small and mid-size businesses (SMB) to attract new potential customers, convert them to paying customers and retain them. HubSpot targets its services to companies with 10 to 2,000 employees and seeks to attract visitors to its clients’ digital content through inbound marketing techniques. It then seeks to convert visitors into leads, close leads into customers, and improve engagement and customer services. The stock outperformed during the second quarter after the company reported accelerating growth momentum at scale during the first three months of this year. The headwinds HubSpot experienced during the pandemic created a setup for the company to emerge from the crisis in a much stronger strategic position than before. Management raised fiscal year 2021 revenue guidance by $77 million, a 6.5% increase, after just one quarter into the fiscal year, implying accelerating growth into the rest of the year. We believe HubSpot currently has potential to revise upward annual revenue guidance throughout the year. In addition, the company has been expanding its services and has moved from simply helping small businesses grow better to providing what we believe is the best-of-breed customer relationship and customer experience platform for companies interested in building scale.”
