What makes a pitch work
Editors at The Startup Story and similar outlets receive far more pitches than they can use. The pitches that succeed are specific, timely and backed by evidence: a clear news hook, real numbers, a spokesperson who can speak with authority and images that are ready to publish. We help you build each of these before any outreach begins.
If your story is not yet strong enough for The Startup Story, we will tell you, and suggest a sequence of more achievable outlets — often regional, trade or startup media — that build the credibility and coverage history larger publications look for.

Preparing a story for The Startup Story
Editors at startup and technology outlets receive far more pitches than they can use. Stories that stand out are specific, timely and verifiable: a clear milestone, real numbers, a credible spokesperson and a reason the audience of The Startup Story would care now rather than later.
Before pitching, we check recent coverage so we do not repeat angles the publication has already run, and we prepare supporting material — data, images, customer examples and a concise founder bio — so a journalist can say yes quickly. If The Startup Story is not the right fit yet, we will say so and suggest outlets where your story is more likely to land first.
