Lennox Hill Partners Speeds Outreach with LinkMatch + HubSpot

Summary

Lennox Hill Partners, a fundraising and investor sourcing firm led by veteran fundraiser Howard Freeman, supports early-stage founders in securing investors and helps select VCs connect with LPs. With multiple client mandates running in parallel, the firm faced a bottleneck: hours lost to manually transferring LinkedIn profile data into HubSpot CRM.

By adopting LinkMatch for HubSpot, Lennox Hill Partners cut that process to seconds per contact, kept its CRM clean and up to date, and freed up hours for higher-value networking and deal-making.

As Howard puts it:

“LinkMatch is in my top three work tools. It saves me more time than anything else.”

Client Profile

Name: Lennox Hill Partners
Industry: Fundraising / Investor Relations / Business Development
Headquarters: USA
Background:
Founded by Howard Freeman, Lennox Hill Partners specializes in connecting early-stage companies with investors, and select VCs with limited partners. Howard’s 30+ years in fundraising inform every interaction, from relationship building to deal structuring. HubSpot is the firm’s operational hub for tracking both investor and donor relationships.

Outside the firm, Howard is also building Romy, an AI-powered fundraising platform that gives small-to-mid-size American nonprofits access to donor intelligence tools normally reserved for large organizations — but at a fraction of the cost.

The Challenge

With as many as 15 client mandates running at once, Lennox Hill Partners was researching and contacting hundreds of new investor and donor prospects each week.

The bottleneck:

Time loss — transferring each LinkedIn profile to HubSpot took several minutes.
Data gaps — missing LinkedIn URLs, inconsistent job titles, and outdated records.
Follow-up blind spots — no quick way to see if someone had already been approached, and what was discussed.

These are common pain points for firms relying on LinkedIn for outreach without a streamlined way to manage relationships in their CRM — a challenge we’ve covered in our guide to LinkedIn relationship management for sales.

The Solution: LinkMatch + HubSpot

Integrating LinkMatch into their workflow gave Lennox Hill Partners an instant bridge between LinkedIn and HubSpot:

One-click profile saving — All key LinkedIn data mapped directly into the right HubSpot fields.
Real-time status indicators — Green checkmarks for existing CRM records, red crosses for new prospects.
Automatic updates — Job title or company changes flagged and applied with a click.
LinkedIn message sync — Entire conversation history saved as HubSpot notes.
Custom field mapping — Ensured LinkedIn URLs were stored consistently, reducing duplicates.

Howard immediately saw the difference:

“Half my networking time is on LinkedIn. LinkMatch lets me capture everything in HubSpot without breaking the flow of the conversation.”

Key Solution Elements

Real-time LinkedIn–HubSpot sync with profile status indicators.
Custom mapping for LinkedIn URLs to improve matching accuracy.
LinkedIn message sync for a complete outreach history.
AI-powered profile insights for summaries and donor likelihood scoring (currently in testing for Romy).
Fast, responsive support with quick resolutions.
