Why founders use this for startup press releases

Wire Pricing Is Built for Enterprises

PR Newswire lists about $350 local or $805 national per 400-word release plus a $195 annual membership (list pricing, 2026). That is a large share of an early-stage marketing budget for one announcement.

You Do Not Have a PR Team

Most founders write their own release from a blank page, or skip it. The generator drafts from the facts you supply, and you edit before anything is published.

Buyers and Investors Ask AI First

People research companies by asking AI assistants. A clear, structured release on a crawlable page gives those engines something accurate to quote.

No Way to Know If It Worked

Pickup counts say little about AI visibility. Every release is checked on Perplexity, Claude and Gemini, and you see a dated record of any answer that cites it.

Powerful Features Built for 2026

Drafted From Your Facts

Supply the amount raised, the product, the date or the milestone. The draft uses what you supply, and a check flags numbers, quotes and claims that are not in your input before you approve.

You Approve the Exact Text

Nothing is published or charged until you approve the final wording. Any edit asks for approval again.

Live the Same Day

No editorial queue. Confirm your company email and the release goes live on a permanent page with Schema.org markup and AI discovery files.

Citation Tracking

We check Perplexity, Claude and Gemini (plus ChatGPT on Premium and Enterprise) for answers that cite your release and keep a dated record.

Fraud Screening

A 4-layer screen protects the credibility of every release on the platform, including yours.

Pay Per Release

€9.95 for your company's first release, €49.95 after that, or €200 for a 5-pack (€40 each). Preview free and pay only when you publish.

What a Startup Press Release Is For

A startup press release is a short, factual announcement of something that happened: a funding round, a product launch, a key hire, a partnership or a customer milestone. Published on a permanent, crawlable page, it becomes a source that search engines and AI assistants can read and quote when someone asks about your company by name.

It is not a guarantee of coverage. Nobody can promise that a journalist will write about you or that a particular AI engine will cite you. What a release gives you is an accurate, dated, structured statement in your own words, which is what those systems look for when they are asked about you.

Anatomy of a Startup Press Release

Use only facts you can stand behind. Fill each bracket from your own records, and leave out any line you cannot support.

  1. Headline: [Company] [announces / launches / raises] [what], [for whom or where].
  2. Dateline and date: [City, Country], [date].
  3. Summary (40 to 60 words): who you are, what happened, why it matters. This is the passage most likely to be quoted.
  4. The news: the specifics you can verify, such as the amount, the investors, the feature or the date.
  5. Why now: the customer problem the announcement addresses, in one or two sentences.
  6. A founder quote: a real statement from a named person. Never an invented one.
  7. About [Company]: two or three sentences on what you do, in your own words.
  8. Contact: a real email on your company domain.

Announcements Worth a Release

  • Funding rounds: amount, lead investor and use of funds, as agreed with your investors.
  • Product launches: what it does, who it is for, and where to get it.
  • Partnerships and integrations: only with the partner's agreement to be named.
  • Customer or traction milestones: figures you can document.
  • Key hires and expansion: a named person, a role and a date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start with one announcement and the facts that back it up: what happened, when, for whom, and a real quote from a named founder. Lead with a 40 to 60 word summary, add the specifics, and finish with a short About section and a company-domain contact. Pressonify's generator drafts this structure from your facts, and you edit it before approving.
With Pressonify your company's first release is €9.95 (one per company email domain, applied automatically at checkout), then €49.95 per release or €200 for a 5-pack. You can draft and preview for free and pay only when you publish. Wire services list from about $129 to $805 per release, and PR Newswire adds a $195 annual membership (list pricing, 2026).
Not always. A wire is useful when you need its specific distribution, such as financial terminals or compliance-grade reach. If your goal is an accurate, permanent, citable statement about your company, a structured release on a crawlable page covers it. Many startups use both for the announcements that matter most.
Nobody can guarantee a citation. AI answer engines cite press releases mostly for questions about your company by name, and each engine favours different sources. Every Pressonify release is checked on Perplexity, Claude and Gemini (plus ChatGPT on Premium and Enterprise), and you see a dated record of any answer that cites it.
The AI drafts from your facts in about a minute. You review and edit, approve the exact text, confirm your company email, and it goes live the same day with no editorial queue.
Yes. Supply the amount, investors and use of funds as agreed with them, and the draft is structured around those facts. Anything not in your input is flagged for your review instead of being added.
