Cargado

One year ago when FreightWaves announced the FreightTech Top 25, we were a company of 6 people founded by Matt Silver and Rylan Hawkins with some Figma designs. Fast forward to today and we just got listed as number 🔟 on the FreightWaves FreightTech Top 25. We're helping 125+ logistics companies grow their cross-border Mexico business. We are quickly becoming the software stack connecting U.S. and Mexico supply chains. And our growth is only continuing to accelerate: 🚚 If you're a logistics company looking to grow your Mexico business or get into cross-border Mexico freight, reach out to set up a demo. 📬 We're hiring in every single department to support our rapid growth. Apply to the role that fits your experience best.

Hey SaaS product teams, Stop making your customers log in every time they go to your marketing homepage. No one remembers your app’s subdomain. Is it an app or dashboard or something else? I spent a few minutes looking at some well-known websites and did a quick review of the quality of their login experience. 🤮 F - Services that, when you click Login on their homepage, make you log in again even if you were already logged in. Bank of America, Chase 🤕 D - Services that don’t provide a one-click login button on their homepage. You have to click some kind of popup or find it in the footer Allstate Benefits, and many a government site 🤨 C - Services that, when you click login, it takes you to the app. Trouble is, you aren’t always sure if you will have to login again or not until you click it. Intuit TurboTax (Mint used to be in the F category for awhile), Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rocket Money, Datadog, Brex, Statsig, Rippling 🙂 B - Services that just say “Go to app” when you’re logged in already. HubSpot, CircleCI, Stripe 😃 A-minus - Services that redirect you straight into the app. However, they skip the marketing pages. What if I want to view the pricing page and figure out what features I am missing? How do I do that? GitHub, Notion, Mintlify, Sentry 🎉 A+ - Services that show me my username so I have confidence I am logged in already, but also allow me to use the marketing page. Cargado (we’re not going to make a post like this if we don’t have an A+ 😉 ), Crowdin, Slack Product and design leaders talk about craftsmanship and understanding the customer journey. This is a great example of that. Come join us at Cargado and help us make something great.

It's time for the Primary Venture Partners' GTM role of the week, and today I'm looking to my MARKETING network to share a fantastic opportunity to join Cargado as Marketing Lead. Launched in April 2024 by freight industry veterans Matt Silver and Rylan Hawkins, Cargado is the first invite-only load board for cross-border Mexico freight. Cargado's product simplifies the cross-border freight experience and has helped drive the historic rise of nearshoring and growing demand for improved cross-border logistics. Today more than 60 logistics companies leverage Cargado to get loads booked faster with greater transparency and a trusted network of carriers. Cargado’s Marketing Lead will work closely with both the CEO and Head of Operations and will be responsible for building the marketing department from the ground up, including developing a strong marketing funnel for both the broker (B2B) and carrier (B2C2B) sides of the marketplace. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Chicago-based professional who is bilingual (English and Spanish - and should have a cultural understanding of both of those audiences). Ideal candidates will have 3+ years of generalist marketing experience in a startup environment with plenty of 0-1 building experience. https://lnkd.in/e83zbjsc ...and as always, I'll remind all the jobseekers out there (even if you're just passively looking...!) that Primary has over 300 other open roles across out portfolio across all industries, stages, senior levels and functions.
