Steve Jobs was a visionary - he saw the future and was able to develop products that changed the world. Hopefully, he has inspired young minds to believe that anything is possible with hard work, dedication and the desire to be different.
Well said Brian. Thank you for writing the words so many of us feel today. HubSpot is truly a visionary product suite. All the best.
Thanks for this Brian. Many of us were saddened by this news. But you're absolutely on point - I still remember the very first video of I watched of you comparing HubSpot to the iPod. Thanks for staying true to the (Steve's and yours) vision.
I enjoy your post and have learned a lot from them. I started reading this post interested in what you had to say about this visionary and what I got was a sales pitch about hubspot products. I think you broke one of your rules. Don't mean to be critical, assume you did not realize to tone of the post, but it does come off as using what should be a time of commemoration as a means to promote hubspot.
Great post, Brian. Simplify and integrate so that everything works together seamlessly is good advice for every business.
I also congratulate you, Dharmesh, Mike and the team on the continued success at Hubspot.

Brian - I believe one of Steve's best quotes is:
“Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

Brian thanks for capturing these thoughts. Steve Jobs has been an inspiration to so many in so many ways including you and Dharmesh. If you don't have a conference room in his name, I bet you will have one soon.
I strongly believe Hubspot is as visionary as Steve. The internets will bow down to this revolutionary product soon enough.

Shame on you Brian and Hubspot, im all for inbound marketing and promoting what you do through content but piggybacking on the death of STEVE JOBS?very poor taste.
We just lost a visionary and all you can think about is selling more hubspot software.... not good
Tacky. Very tacky.
Using the opportunity to put out a sales march and then including a term like "death march" in a blog about a visionary's passing.
If Steve Jobs ispire Hubspot, that why this business is so good and marketing and more ♣.
Steve Jobs inspired you, you inspire us, we inspire our customers - it's a beautiful web of sharing information, knowledge, experience and vision.
Thank you to all who inspire.
I started off my graphic design career on a Mac 512k and have never looked back! I remember when Adobe Illustrator fit on 1 – that's right, 1 800KB floppy disk!!! I hope you remember what "floopy" means. I view Apple as one of the best companies in the world and have always used their product and hands down, I am willing to make more, for getting the most robust assembly, user-friendly and fabulous interface around. I bleed Apple and think they will continue to do well for a long time in the future. Steve, will miss you very much.
One can argue the true gemius of Steve Jobs, but like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, he was a visionary and he changed our lives forever in profound ways. He deserves a spot in that pantheon. Brian and Dharmesh are also visionaries and are changing the way we view all media and how we interact with each other. How far can they go? Only time will tell exactly how far.
Steve Jobs reminded us all to go the extra miles in delivering good products and services to our customers.
He was a great innovator and entrepreneur! He also taught us not to give up on our dreams - keep pushing forward!
