9-Figure Media | Funding Announcement Sprint
Your round deserves a story, not a wire release.
A 6-week earned-media sprint for venture-backed companies. We land one tier-1 exclusive on your raise, then run a second wave across business, tech and broadcast press.
Raised in the last 9 months? The funding story is still yours to tell.
featured in Forbes, TechCrunch, Bloomberg, CNBC and similar outlets within 90 days of working with us.
Every sprint is handled by senior executives who are former Forbes journalists with over 20 years of experience.
In our clients' words
Unscripted conversations with founders and executives on what changed, and what it took.
Built for companies that just raised $15M or more
- Series B and later companies announcing a round, or that closed one in the last few months
- CEOs and CMOs who want the raise covered by tier-1 business and tech press, not only trade sites and newswire pickups
- Teams that can give us CEO time, an investor quote and the numbers you're cleared to share, at least 3 weeks before announcing
How the 6 weeks run
We agree a named list of target outlets with you in week 1, in writing. Everything after that is pitched against it, and you see every pitch in a live tracker.
- 1
Narrative
Kickoff with your CEO or CMO. We find why this round matters beyond the dollar figure and agree the target list.
- 2
Assets
Press release, media kit, CEO bio, fact sheet and talking points. Embargo terms set.
- 3
Exclusive
Your story offered to the #1 outlet on the list, with a fallback lined up. CEO interview prep.
- 4
Announcement
The exclusive runs, the release goes out, and secondary pitches reach the rest of the tier-1 list.
- 5
Second wave
Follow-on angles: founder story, market trend, hiring. Trade press, plus broadcast on Premium.
- 6
Report
Coverage report, plus copy for your sales deck, LinkedIn and investor update.

What we can't promise, and what we can
Editors decide what they publish. Anyone who guarantees you a Forbes or WSJ story is selling you an ad.
We don't guarantee that a specific outlet will run your story, when it runs, its angle or headline, or that a booked TV segment won't get bumped by breaking news.
We do commit to every step in the timeline above, pitching every outlet on your agreed list, and showing you all of it in the tracker. We never buy placements or pass off paid content as editorial.
After the sprint
You can continue on a monthly retainer of $15,000–$25,000: ongoing pitching for product news, hires and milestones, a CEO thought-leadership program, and monthly coverage reports.
