That is exactly the reason I am building https://presscatalog.com https://presscatalog.com , I think solo founders can benefit by pitching to journalists directly. I would really really love if you can give me some feedback.
- gnicholas 4y agoHappy to! The first thing I noticed is that the pricing is monthly (and not trivial, at $90/mo to start). Do you expect folks to use the product for a short time when they're focused on PR, or would this be an ongoing thing? I can imagine that there would be periods where startups wouldn't want to be spending that much when they're focused on other things (product, fundraising).
- illegalmemory 4y agoThank you very much, for now, it is monthly pricing, but certainly an area of improvement. The plan is not to charge in case there are no exports in a month.
- elorant 4y agoDo you get consent from journalists for listing their emails? I thought about building something like that in the past but then the GDPR law took effect in EU and I was scared I could find myself sued to oblivion.
- illegalmemory 4y agoI have been reaching out to some journalists over Twitter and most of them have been supportive. In case they are not I remove them from the list. I am yet to cover all, but I intend to abide by GDPR as much as possible.
- ghaff 4y agoAnd the fact is that there are all manner of lists out there of various levels of quality. I get emails every day even though I'm not a regular journalist.
- gpt5 4y agoOne way to prove that your product works would be to get your company to featured by journalists :)
- holler 4y agoInteresting, have you had any success stories?
