# Sponsor call — 2024-04-12
Sponsor discovery/renewal call. Discussed placement and campaign goals.

## Notes
- Carlos manages partnerships at CodeVault, an enterprise code hosting and collaboration platform positioning itself as a GitHub alternative for organizations with strict compliance requirements
- Discovery call; CodeVault is targeting regulated industries (finance, healthcare, government) and sees our audience of engineering leaders as the key decision-makers for platform adoption
- Discussed a 6-month sponsorship commitment with mid-roll placements and quarterly performance reviews; Carlos wants to align messaging with our episodes on security, compliance, and enterprise engineering practices
- Carlos raised a concern about exclusivity — they want assurance that no direct competitor (GitHub, GitLab) will sponsor adjacent episodes; we discussed a category exclusivity add-on
- New lead with strong revenue potential; CodeVault is well-funded and has an ambitious marketing plan for 2024

## Follow-up
- [ ] Send proposal with category exclusivity pricing and terms
- [ ] Update CRM with CodeVault opportunity and Carlos's contact information
- [ ] Follow up in two weeks after Carlos reviews with his leadership team
