SubjectOptivolt's Series A and the growth role

Hi Rohit, congrats on the $32M Series A led by VXI Capital. I saw the open Growth application on your careers page, and it doesn't look like anyone's leading marketing yet, which usually means the story and the pipeline land on you.

How to pitch them

Open with the $32M Series A led by VXI Capital and the open Growth role on their careers page. No one leads marketing yet, so offer to own it for a few months while they hire full time.

SubjectOptivolt's Series A and the growth role

Hi Rohit, congrats on the $32M Series A led by VXI Capital. I saw the open Growth application on your careers page, and it doesn't look like anyone's leading marketing yet, which usually means the story and the pipeline land on you. I've run marketing for climate and energy companies, so if it'd help to have someone own it for a few months while you find the full-time hire, I'm up for a quick call next week.
