We regularly secure coverage in TechCrunch, VentureBeat, Wired, The Verge, Forbes, Bloomberg, Business Insider, The Information, Ars Technica, MIT Technology Review, and 150+ other tier 1 and tier 2 publications. We also place in vertical-specific outlets like AI-focused newsletters, developer publications, and enterprise tech media.
For companies with a genuinely newsworthy story (product launch, funding round, significant partnership), we typically secure first placements within 2-4 weeks of engagement. For ongoing thought leadership and feature coverage, the first major piece usually lands within 30-45 days. We set realistic timelines upfront — we'd rather under-promise and over-deliver.
Three things: specialization, relationships, and accountability. We only work with AI and tech companies, so reporters trust us to bring them relevant stories. We have direct relationships (not cold pitches) with 500+ tech reporters. And we report on actual business impact — referral traffic, backlink authority, and pipeline influence — not just impressions.
Yes — funding PR is one of our specialties. We've managed 200+ funding round announcements from pre-seed to Series D. We coordinate embargoed exclusives with tier 1 outlets, create supporting assets, manage the news cycle timing, and amplify coverage to maximize the business impact of every raise.
Media coverage in high-authority publications creates powerful backlinks that boost your domain authority and search rankings. Additionally, when publications like TechCrunch or Forbes mention your product, AI models are more likely to cite you in their responses. Earned media is one of the most effective ways to build the entity authority that drives AEO results.
Our PR engagements typically start at $8,000/month for early-stage AI startups and scale based on scope, number of campaigns, and coverage targets. Every engagement includes strategy, story development, outreach, and monthly reporting. We offer flexible terms and performance-oriented structures because we're confident in our ability to deliver results.
