Startup press release distribution on a founder’s budget
Announce your launch, funding round or first big customer on 400+ news sites from $14, with no retainer, no subscription and a live report of every link.
Credibility before you can afford an agency
Early-stage companies need proof that they exist: something investors, hires and customers can find when they search your name. A startup press release turns a launch, a seed round or a partnership into dated news on established sites, for the price of a lunch meeting.
Basic ($14) reaches 400+ publishers and is the most affordable way in. UltraSEO ($35) adds 200+ dofollow placements for teams building search visibility. When the round is big enough to deserve a headline, WW Platinum ($169) includes AP News, USA Today, Barchart and StreetInsider.
You pay per release with credits that never expire, an editor checks every release before it goes out, and declined releases get their credits back. That is the whole contract.
- Distribution to 400+ publishers on Basic

Startup press release distribution FAQ
How much does a startup press release cost?
Basic starts at $14 per release for 400+ publishers. UltraSEO is $35, and WW Platinum, with AP News and USA Today, is $169.
Is a press release worth it for an early-stage startup?
If you have real news, yes: it creates dated, third-party pages that investors, hires and customers find when they search your name. It will not replace product-market fit or sales.
Should I announce a funding round with a press release?
Yes. Funding news is one of the most common startup releases. WW Platinum adds AP News, USA Today, Barchart and StreetInsider for investor reach.
Do I need a PR agency?
No. You can write with the AI writer, choose a plan and publish yourself. For a fully written release, our writing service is quoted per project.
Will journalists write about my startup?
Distribution publishes your release on news sites; original coverage by journalists is never guaranteed by any provider.
Can I save if I publish regularly?
Yes. Prepaying 3, 6 or 12 releases saves 3%, 6% or 10%, and credits never expire.
What if my release is declined?
The credits go back to your wallet. You can revise and resubmit or use them for another plan.
