Startup Brand Mentions For Seed And Series A Founders
Earn the credible coverage that makes a young company look fundable and real, in the publications buyers and AI assistants trust. From $1,997 a month, with 14-day onboarding.
Startups Need A Programme Calibrated To Their Stage
A seed-stage startup can’t buy its way into the same coverage a public company commands, and shouldn’t try.
What you need is the credibility that wins your first ten customers and backs up your fundraising story. That comes from earned mentions in publications a buyer or investor recognizes, placed at a pace and price that fit a startup budget.
This programme is built for exactly that. Real coverage, calibrated to where you are, without enterprise overhead.
What The Startup Programme Delivers Every Month
Fast 14-day onboarding
We get moving in two weeks, not two months. You start earning coverage while the momentum from your raise or launch is still fresh.
6 to 12 placements a month
Consistent, confirmed editorial coverage in mid-tier and specialist publications your buyers and AI models trust.
A named senior strategist
One owner who knows early-stage publishing and runs your programme directly. No account queue.
Monthly citation tracking
A clear read on whether AI assistants are starting to name you when buyers ask in your category.
Attributable placements only
Every placement is confirmed and traceable. No impressions, no vanity counts.
A path to scale
When you outgrow the tier, you move up without losing your strategist or your tracking history.
Your First 90 Days As A Startup
Built to move at startup speed. Onboarding takes two weeks, and coverage follows fast.
Weeks 1 to 2: Onboarding and audit
We get moving in 14 days, map where you surface across the major assistants, and agree the credibility angles that fit your stage.
Month 1: Pitching starts
We put your story in front of editors at the mid-tier and specialist outlets buyers and investors actually recognize.
Month 2 to 3: Placements land
You start earning 6 to 12 confirmed placements a month, the kind of coverage that makes a young company look fundable and real.
Month 3 onward: Citation signal
Tracking shows whether assistants are beginning to name you when buyers ask in your category, with a clear path to scale up.
How Startup Visibility Compares
Most founders try one of these first. Here is where each stops short for an early-stage team.
| Approach | Fits a startup budget | Earns credible coverage | Attributable tracking | Done for you |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Startup Visibility | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Founder doing outreach | Yes | Slowly | No | No |
| Traditional PR retainer | No, costly | Yes | No | Yes |
| AI tracking tool | Yes | No, measures only | Measures only | No |
| Waiting until later | Yes | No | No | No |
Credibility coverage compounds. Starting early is cheaper than catching up after a raise.
Is The Startup Programme Right For You?
It is built for a specific moment in a company life. Here is how to tell if that is you.
A strong fit if
You are pre-seed to Series A and need to look fundable and real
Buyers or investors are checking whether you are credible
You want real, earned coverage that fits a startup budget
You are raising or running your first serious sales cycles
Start elsewhere if
You have product-market fit and want category leadership, see AI Brand Mentions
You are a product-led software team, see SaaS Brand Mentions
Your category is deeply technical, see LLM Visibility
You only need measurement, a tracking tool will be cheaper
Startup Programme Questions
They’re early editorial references to your company in credible publications, including the ones AI assistants cite. For a seed or Series A startup, they’re how you start looking established before you have the logos and case studies to prove it.
It starts at $1,997 a month, with 14-day onboarding and 6 to 12 confirmed placements a month. It’s built to fit a startup budget while still earning real, attributable coverage.
If you’re raising or selling and buyers are checking whether you’re real, it’s not too early. Early credibility coverage helps in fundraising conversations and first sales cycles alike.
You move up to the flagship programme when your stage and goals call for it. You keep the same strategist and your tracking history carries over.
We commit to 6 to 12 placements a month and report every confirmed one. No editorial programme can promise specific outlets, but we’re transparent about exactly what lands. Compare it with the other programmes if you are weighing options.
