Are you newsworthy?

Sixty seconds. Five questions. We grade your startup against the exact bar our editors use — and tell you whether you're ready to be featured.

1Where is your company today?

We feature operators, not aspirations.

Still an idea or pre-launch Launched, no real revenue yet Real revenue or active users Scaling fast, or recently raised

2What's your best number?

The metric you’d put on the record.

Nothing I’d share publicly yet Early signal — hundreds of users / a few sales Meaningful — 5-6 figures ARR or 10K+ users Serious — 7-figure revenue, big raise, or exit

3Has the mainstream press already run your story?

We want a fresh angle, not a re-run.

It’s been covered a lot already Some coverage, nothing deep Barely — there’s a fresh angle here

4Will you go on the record with specifics?

Numbers and real decisions, not slogans.

I’d rather keep it high-level Some specifics, within reason Yes — the parts most founders won’t say

5Can you spare 30 minutes for a recorded interview?

One call, plus a 48-hour fact-check window.

Not right now Probably, in the next few weeks Yes — happy to
