We’ve seen hundreds of GrowthX members successfully get their membership reimbursed using the email below. It’s best to send this after you’ve been formally accepted.

A few tips before you send it:

• Align with your manager verbally first, ideally during a 1:1 when you have their full attention.
• Once they’re open to the idea, follow up with this email.
• You can mark someone from finance or HR in cc if required, but always go through your manager first.
• Showing them growthx.club usually helps build context quickly.

Hey {First name of your manager},

I recently applied to **GrowthX.** Had solid recommendations from a lot of leaders in our network. And, my application has been accepted. The community is extremely curated with all major product, marketing leaders in the country being a part. Here’s everything — growthx.club

I strongly believe the people & content will help me get better at product building, distribution & AI. They recently launches a couple of experiences inside that I can attend online & in-person. Some of the speakers who teach include CXOs from Netflix, Swiggy, Apple, Microsoft, Google, Zepto, Amazon — full list is here.

The community will help me surround myself with people in product, marketing, strategy and a majority of them are actively tinkering with AI. This is a solid investment for us as we will implement AI in our workflows & offerings. Plus, the time commitment is justified & is mostly on weekends.

Their current 4,000+ members come from early stage startups to public stage companies. They have a healthy mix of B2C, B2B & D2C. The average member has atleast 6.5 years of work experience & they vet each application — so I am guessing the community is the core value.

What's the cost? It’s ₹9,999 - including GST. I wanted to see if I could get this membership sponsored as part of our employee up-skilling budget. Please let me know if this is possible & if I can get the approval.

Slightly caught up on time as they roll out acceptances every week & I need to take a decision before end of this week. I can also make the payment and then reimburse if this can be approved.
