2. The product that changed something
Not every feature. The one that changes what a customer can do, with a number attached.

3. Original data
A benchmark or survey nobody else has. This is the cheapest way for a small company to earn real links.

4. The hire that signals direction
A senior hire from a recognisable company tells the market what you are building next.
Mistakes
What wastes a startup's first release
Three patterns account for most disappointing startup campaigns, and none of them are about budget.
For a seed or Series A announcement, $149–$349 per release is usually the right band. Spend more only when you need terminal or broadcast lanes. Three well-targeted releases outperform one expensive national blast.
Not necessarily. Distribution plus a good release covers the publishing layer. Agencies add strategy, relationships and pitching, which matter most once a journalist is already likely to take the story.
Funding, meaningful product launches with numbers, first enterprise customers, notable hires, open-source releases and original data. Routine minor updates dilute attention.
Only with lead-investor consent and agreed language. Premature funding announcements are a real legal risk, and our editors will ask for confirmation before publishing.
