About Clearbit (HubSpot Breeze Intelligence)
B2B enrichment that moved into HubSpot.
Clearbit was founded in 2015 in San Francisco by Alex MacCaw, Matt Sornson and Harlow Ward, and built its reputation on a developer-friendly enrichment API plus a set of free utilities (the Logo API, Autocomplete and Form Shortening) that turned up in countless onboarding flows. HubSpot agreed to acquire the company on 1 November 2023 and closed the deal on 4 December 2023, with a reported price of around 150 million dollars in cash. At the 2024 Inbound conference HubSpot relaunched the data layer as Breeze Intelligence, the enrichment engine inside its Breeze AI platform.
The product surface today sits in two places. Inside HubSpot, Breeze Intelligence enriches companies and contacts with around forty firmographic, demographic and technographic attributes, identifies anonymous website visitors at the company level (the old Reveal motion) and shortens forms by pre-filling known fields. Outside HubSpot, the Clearbit standalone APIs (Company, Person, Prospector, Reveal, Risk) keep running for existing customers, with the free tier wound down through 2025: the free Platform, Weekly Visitor Report, TAM Calculator and Connect were retired on 30 April 2025, and the public Logo API followed on 1 December 2025.
The reason to land Clearbit in a warehouse is that the same data is being asked to do double duty. HubSpot teams want to know what enrichment lift Breeze produced on conversion, lead score and pipeline; standalone API customers want to know what every reveal credit and form-shortened submit cost them per closed deal. Bounce rate on enriched contacts, share of revealed visitors that became a meeting, attribute decay between refreshes and the standalone-API-versus-HubSpot-add-on price arithmetic all live in the join between Clearbit, the CRM and billing. Inside the HubSpot UI those numbers stay implicit; in a warehouse they become the renewal conversation.
