Free International Mentorship Program for Developers and Innovators with HubSpot Experts

HubSpot offers a free Ecosystem Mentorship Program for developers and builders working in the HubSpot ecosystem who want practical guidance or are ready to mentor others. Applications for the self-paced mentoring path are open year-round, while mini-cohort applications can be submitted up to seven weeks before a cohort begins.

About the HubSpot Developer Mentorship Program

The program has two parallel paths, and participants may join one or both. The self-paced 1:1 loop matches a mentor and mentee according to their goals, skills, and availability. Each pair sets its own meeting cadence and works toward goals they define together. Participants can update their profile and availability at any time, and close the loop after reaching their shared goals.

The second path is a structured mini-cohort built around a shared topic and lasting three months. Each participant receives a 1:1 mentor match, joins a Group Loop for discussion and questions, and takes part in five events designed to support learning and connection with other participants, topic experts, and product team members. The mini-cohort includes three hours of meetings with the mentor or mentee in total. Existing program participants, including people in self-paced loops, may apply. After the cohort ends, mentor-mentee pairs can choose to continue as a self-paced loop.

The 2026 schedule lists the Agents in Action mini-cohort from October 20 to December 18. Its five-event series includes an opening event, an Agent Builder workshop using HubSpot CRM data, an Agent CLI workshop, live demonstrations of agents built outside HubSpot, and a closing celebration. The page also notes that recordings are shared for some sessions in the cohort’s Group Loop.

People who want to mentor are asked to complete HubSpot Academy’s Effective Mentoring in the HubSpot Ecosystem course to prepare for their first meeting. The course is free, self-paced, and takes just over an hour. Mentors set expectations with their mentees, communicate openly, and guide them through challenges connected to their goals. Mentees are expected to reach out proactively, schedule their first session within 30 days, set goals, and use Mentorloop to record meetings and share feedback.

Who Should Apply

The program is intended for builders and developers who are actively building on the HubSpot platform. Mentees should have a sense of their direction and want guidance toward their goals. Potential mentors may have built and launched marketplace apps, created custom integrations with UI extensions, or developed AI-powered solutions. The program is relevant to people seeking peer connections and professional development in the HubSpot ecosystem.
