HubSpot

Formed as an LLC in Delaware (2005), converted to a Delaware corporation (2007), and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The operating parent (HubSpot, Inc.) sits entirely in US jurisdiction. EU law reaches it only as a GDPR data processor serving EU customers — not because any controlling entity is EU-incorporated or EU-established. Incorporated and run outside the EU puts this squarely in the 0-30 band.

Publicly listed on the NYSE under HUBS since the October 2014 IPO. Single-class, one-share-one-vote capital structure with no dual-class supervoting and no controlling shareholder. Ownership is ~95% institutional, dominated by US asset managers (BlackRock filed a Schedule 13G as a >5% holder). Both voting control and the economic majority sit in the US — a clear foreign-control profile (0-30).

HubSpot's product infrastructure runs exclusively on Amazon Web Services (US hyperscaler). It offers data residency across five AWS regions including the EU (Germany / Frankfurt), so EU customers can keep primary storage in the EU — but the underlying infrastructure is US-owned and CLOUD Act-exposed, default region is assigned by signup geolocation, and HubSpot states a limited amount of processing (analytics, support, integrations) can occur outside the chosen region. EU regions on a US hyperscaler with foreign-law exposure lands in the low end of the 20-40 band.

Operations are US-centered: HQ in Cambridge MA, US-based CEO (Yamini Rangan) and co-founder/CTO (Dharmesh Shah), and USD financial reporting. HubSpot does run substantial international operations including EU offices (notably Dublin, Ireland and Berlin, Germany) and serves customers in 135+ countries, which lifts the score off the floor, but center of gravity — leadership, listing, currency, decision-making — is American. Foreign-centered with meaningful EU presence (0-30).
