How to pitch this beat
- Funding announcements need the amount, round type, lead investor and use of funds, in that order.
- Startup press gets dozens of funding pitches daily: a specific traction number stands out.
- Mention your stage explicitly (seed, Series A), reporters filter by stage.
- A founder quote should say something concrete, not restate the press release.
- Regional outlets often cover a local raise that national press would skip.
