After getting laid off, the speaker posted on LinkedIn and reconnected with a college acquaintance. That connection led to a contractor role at Capsule, which turned into a full-time head of marketing position.
When I got laid off, I posted on LinkedIn, was like, Hey, I got laid off. I really want to move back into the startup world. Here's kind of what I'm looking for. And someone I went to college with reached out, saw my LinkedIn post, hadn't talked to him in, you know, 10, 12 years, and he was like, hey, I work at this startup. We're looking for some marketing help. I'm happy to introduce you to the CEO. So he introduced me to the CEO of Capsule, and we just hit it off immediately. We worked really well together. I grasped the product and the vision and got got it immediately and loved it and have just been working together ever since. I started for like six months as a contractor. And then after our public beta launch In September of 2023, I joined the team full time as the head of market.
