CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, inbound marketing and sales software company HubSpot, Inc., announced that it has acquired Rekindle, a Boston based technology company backed by Atlas Ventures (FKA), Google Ventures, and other investors.

Of the news, HubSpot CEO, Brian Halligan said, "As HubSpot grows, we continue to seek out innovative companies and technologies that can help us transform the marketing and sales landscape. With Rekindle, we saw a great opportunity for the technology that they have built to help us do that. We're excited for the team to join HubSpot, and look forward to working together, as we expand on our commitment to help our customers grow with our products."

Rekindle's use of the contact graph to connect individuals and the power of the technology behind it are completely aligned with HubSpot's aim to help our customers grow through connecting companies with people in a more human way."
