My life plan in my 20s was to be GM of a $50M turnover manufacturing business. Now I do software for hardware. | CMO @colab_software | BoD @KatalystSpace

CoLab looking fast on the Honda Indycar at Detroit Grand Prix 🏁⚡️

[Northrop Grumman @northropgrumman]

We’re preparing our Pegasus rocket and Stargazer L-1011 aircraft for a unique mission to help @KatalystSpace extend the life of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, combining air-launch flexibility with proven rocket propulsion to support @NasaScience_ in orbit.

@zanehengsperger A VP of Ops I worked with started a night shift even though we didn’t need one capacity wise. Said you can recruit overlooked talent that need the odd hours for personal reasons.

40 miles into the Idaho desert with a working nuclear reactor in the background. Pretty cool onsite for @colab_software at @INL ☢️

This week was a big one for CoLab.

We announced a new multi-year, multimillion dollar contract with @Bombardier 🛫

We're working with their design and engineering teams to accelerate development of business jets with AI.

@techsaleshackz We promote BDRs to Enterprise AE at CoLab because we almost exclusively sell to enterprise. Much harder to make that jump, but exceptional BDRs can (and have) done it.

@callieabost Buy onesies in a stretchier material - game changer! Angel Dear makes good ones.

Stoked to announce CoLab's $72M Series C, led by Intrepid with Insight and Y Combinator tripling down.

EngineeringOS will bring together engineering experts and AI agents to to make critical product decisions and turn design cycles that once took months into days.

LFG! 🚀🤘

@majamediaco Depends on company stage - but regardless of title, hard to find.

At Series A, VP Marketing. Later, product marketing.

[Adam Keating @adamkeatingnl]

Today, we’re officially launching AutoReview - the first AI peer checker for engineering teams.

AutoReview analyzes your 3D models and 2D drawings against your checklists and guidelines, then adds markup and comments directly on the design.

Ok but wouldn’t it be brilliant if Jaguar let everyone freak out for one more day and then went “just kidding, here’s the real rebrand”

[MJ (Peters) Smith @_mjpsmith]

@kyleplacy Jellyfish is an Insight portco right? They run a great marketing specific prompt training though their Center of Excellence! It’s “free” 🙂

[MJ (Peters) Smith @_mjpsmith]

Love remote work! But also fun to spend an evening in the local tech scene 🥔💻👀

@BOIEntrepreneur

[Adam Keating @adamkeatingnl]

Stoked to announce CoLab’s $21M USD Series B led by @insightpartners with participation from all of our major investors!

We're hiring across the board and looking for incredible people to help us help engineering teams deliver life changing products to the world years sooner! 🚀

One of my favorite CMO's just updated their B2B website. Let's break down the key changes that we can all learn from:

[MJ (Peters) Smith @_mjpsmith]

Not sure if this is cool or terrifying

[Jason Lalk @jlalk]

Just saw this Calendly integration in my Linkedin DMs 👏👏👏

[MJ (Peters) Smith @_mjpsmith]

@Austen Step 1: what’s the most senior scope they do? (eg maybe they do all of product mgmt, so Senior Product Mgr)

Step 2: compare that title to Chief of Staff

Step 3: give them the more senior title of the two (or the one that’s better for their career path)

[MJ (Peters) Smith @_mjpsmith]

Shout out to the gate agents that know your carry on won’t fit in the arbitrary baggage sizer but will fit in the overhead bin, so they just let you on the flight. The real MVPs 👌🏼

[MJ (Peters) Smith @_mjpsmith]

@MfgHappyHour @IM_Summit_ Thank you Chris!

[MJ (Peters) Smith @_mjpsmith]

@NickB2005 Seems to occupy a similar niche to Justin Welsh’s contentOS which is $150 (although he may have offered it cheaper to start)
