The Method

Press isn't magic. It's research.

A PR agency, rebuilt as software. Same craft, without the retainer. You review every draft before it leaves your outbox.

01

Drop your URL.

We read your site the way a reporter would — what you do, who it's for, why anyone should write about it. Add your LinkedIn for founder-story hooks.

02

Surface the angles.

Five story hooks a journalist will actually pick up. Not the generic launch announcement. Keep the ones that feel like yours.

03

Match, pitch, send.

Reporters who covered your space this month. Drafts reference their last article by name. You approve every line and hit send.

What you get

Not a list of emails. A draft you'd actually send.

Every pitch references the reporter's most recent article. Every match shows you why. Every word is yours to change.

Your piece on indie SaaS margins — small follow-up from a founder in the trenches

Hi Rebecca,

I read your piece on why bootstrapped SaaS is quietly winning against venture-backed tools(Apr 14) — the line about “operating on thirds of the burn rate” matched our numbers almost exactly.

I'm the founder of Warmly. We're doing $42k MRR, team of three, no outside money — competing directly with a Series B company that's raised $38M. I'd love to share the actual P&L if it's useful for a follow-up.

Happy to be a data point, or pass. No follow-ups from me either way.

In this issue

What you get — and don't.

A short, specific list. We'd rather do four things well than promise twenty.

01

Reporters who cover what you do.

Filtered by beat, recency and open-rate signal. Not a purchased list.

02

Angles a journalist will pick up.

Specific hooks, not "we're announcing our seed round."

03

Pitches that get opened, not deleted.

Every draft references the reporter's most recent piece by name.

04

Replies in days. Not months.

Eight targeted sends beats two hundred sprays. Every time.

Most founders pitch 200 reporters and hear back from zero. We pitch 8, and they reply.

Letters from the Desk

Founders who ditched the retainer.

Early users. Quotes are real, names and avatars are illustrated until we have permission to use the originals.

Maya

Founder, AI tooling

Honestly didn't think this would work. A couple reporters actually wrote back.

Marcus

Founder, fintech

Cancelled our retainer last month. Haven't looked back yet.

Priya

Founder, healthtech

Drafts needed tweaks, but the core was mine. That surprised me.

Jordan

Founder, climate

Got a reply I wasn't expecting. More than my last year of DIY.

Sam

Founder, SaaS

Not perfect, but way more useful than the agency we were paying.

Chen

Founder, edtech

Doesn't do everything. Does the annoying research part I hated.

Alex

Founder, enterprise

Reads like me once I adjust a few lines. More than I expected.

Isabel

Founder, consumer

Took a while to trust it. Glad I did.
