Subject3 Climate/Energy startups with no marketing leader
DateMonday, Oct 26, 2026
Hi [your first name], Four Climate/Energy startups raised this week, and three of them have no marketing leader. Here they are, with who to email and a first email you can send today.
Optivolt
No marketing leader yet, and they're hiring for growth.
Email Rohit Kalyanpur, Founder and CEO at r••@optivolt.com · LinkedIn
Subject: Optivolt'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.
Cambridge Heavy Industries
No one in marketing yet. The four co-founders cover the science and BD, and none of the 4 open roles are in marketing.

Subject: Cambridge Heavy Industries' seed round
Hi [first name], congrats on the $6.2M seed led by Azolla Ventures. I saw you're hiring a Head of Business Development, and it doesn't look like anyone's leading marketing yet. I've run marketing for climate and energy companies, so if it'd help to have someone own the story while you build the commercial side, I'm up for a quick call next week.
Electric Plant Company
No one in marketing yet. Their own job post says marketing and comms don't exist as functions.

Subject: Electric Plant Company's seed round
Hi [first name], congrats on the $11.2M seed led by Onto Ventures and Climactic. Your open roles are all engineering right now, and it doesn't look like anyone's leading marketing yet. I've run marketing for climate and energy companies, so if it'd help to have someone own it for a few months while the team builds, I'm up for a quick call next week.
