Startup Press & Media Sites
Tech publications and startup news sites that cover new products — pitch them for coverage and earn editorial backlinks.
Startup press sites work differently from directories: you pitch a story, not a form submission. A single feature on a publication like TechCrunch or Wired outweighs dozens of directory listings, both in authority and in the readers it sends, but editors say no by default, so treat this list as an outreach campaign.
Personalize every pitch: two sentences on why the story fits that outlet's beat, one concrete detail (traction number, unusual origin, contrarian angle), and a link. Smaller trade publications reply far more often than the giants, and their editorial links are just as real. Start there, then use the coverage as proof when you pitch upward.
