CONTRACTOR (REMOTE)

Goldcast is transforming the future of event marketing through an integrated event orchestration platform purpose built for B2B marketing and sales teams.

Modern B2B marketing is all about engaging customers and building communities. Archaic marketing channels such as emails and webinars have proven to be ill suited for that. We believe that events will bridge that gap and be a key driver in the modern enterprise’s GTM tech stack. Goldcast is unlocking events as a marketing channel by building the Marketo for B2B events (a $25bn market/~30% of B2B marketing spends)-helping enterprises deliver, scale, and measure events that drive revenue in an integrated platform purpose built for B2B marketing and sales teams.

We launched the product in general availability in Jan’21 and have seen tremendous growth since then. Today, we count Github, Zuora, Amplitude, Drift, Attentive Mobile and 100 other top B2B firms as our customers and have been getting a lot of customer love

The company was founded at Harvard Business School in the summers of 2020. We have since raised $11.5mn in venture capital and have grown from 10 to 100+ team mates across US and India in the last 1 year.
