Devan Batavia
General Partner
Devan Batavia is a longtime go-to-market operator and a General Partner at Enjoy The Work, where he advises founders on the messy intersection of market demand and sales strategy — the early-stage chess match where the right moves compound into revenue and happy customers, and the wrong ones cost founders years.
What Devan’s founders have to say
“
Sales is chess. The first move decides the next twenty.
”Devan has worn nearly every go-to-market hat in his startup life — business development, product management, and sales leadership. Over the past 10+ years, he has built and led go-to-market teams across three organizations: Jive, which went public in 2011; Origami Logic, acquired by Intuit; and TripActions, still public and last valued at over $5B. Building startups has fed his ambitions for years; he joined Enjoy The Work so he could compress that hard-earned playbook across a portfolio of startups around the globe instead of one company at a time.
