Back on December 31st, 2010 we published a story titled “2010 Tips That We Didn’t Publish & 2011 Rumors,” as a fun way to make some bold predictions on rumors that we had heard throughout the past year. It didn’t take long for one of these to pan out. TechCrunch just published an article titled “HubSpot Heating Up, Sequoia And Google Ventures Looking To Invest.” According to the article, this new round of financing could give HubSpot a $200 million valuation. HubSpot has previously raised $33.5 million in funding from Matrix Partners, General Catalyst and Scale Venture Partners.

This would be huge for all Boston startups and hopefully set a trend of cross pollination between West and East coast VCs and startups. Earlier this year Cambridge-based SCVNGR also raised a big round of money. Screenshot of the TechCrunch article below. We’ll be watching this story like a hawk over the next few days.
