After a brutal accident, Brian Halligan, co-founder of Hubspot and founder of Propellor VC, decided to invest in the ocean. Despite being in the pole position of the digital marketing industry, with Hubspot worth $18 billion in 2021, a snowmobile accident left Halligan with 13 broken bones and months of recovery ahead, leading him to step down as CEO.
