Aptitude 8 and OBO, both distinguished HubSpot Elite Partners, are thrilled to announce a merger between their two firms. This strategic partnership unites the unique strengths of both companies, bringing our separate strong reputations together to become the technical consulting powerhouse of the HubSpot ecosystem. Together, Aptitude 8 and OBO aim to deliver HubSpot technical consulting offering unparalleled service to upmarket HubSpot customers.
Often, companies coming together is additive instead of transformational. However, with Aptitude 8’s well-established brand and operational infrastructure complementing OBO’s technical, strategic, and delivery expertise, we believe this will result in a clear 1+1=3 scenario. This merger allows both companies to immediately meet growing market demand by creating a firm with the depth and scalability needed to lead the HubSpot ecosystem up-market.

"I’m extremely excited about this merger. As both bootstrapped companies, we knew crossing the scale gap would be extremely challenging. By bringing the companies together, we enable both to cross this chasm immediately, and more importantly, get to the scale to lead the HubSpot ecosystem in technical CRM-focused consulting services and expand the strategic value we deliver to our customers.”- CONNOR JEFFERS, CEO & FOUNDER, APTITUDE 8
