First, we experienced it ourselves. News outlets charging high 4, if not even 5 figure sums for only getting ONE article or press release out. A startup simply can NOT afford that. Those who have the money can pay for ads and sponsored content, early-stage startups mostly can`t. We would have loved an option for free article publishing!
Second, we love meeting interesting people and exciting projects/startups like yourself – so let`s talk and learn from eachother!
