Startup Watch
The fastest way to introduce your new business to New Zealand's leading news and media platforms.
You're building something good. Now tell the world about it.
It's a common misconception that if you start a new business, somehow the media will hear about it and contact you for a story or interview. But the reality is that at least 80% of all business stories in the media are initiated by a proactive media pitch, tip off or press release. In other words fortune favours the bold and proactive!
That's why we created Startup Watch, the fastest way to introduce your new business to New Zealand's leading news and media platforms.
How it works
Kickstart your PR journey and grow awareness for your business in the media in just three simple steps!
Step 1) Sign up
Startup Watch is designed specifically for businesses that are:
- Less than 3 years old
- Built or headquartered in New Zealand
- Ready to provide an overview of their business and contact details to media for interviews or story opportunities
If this is you, sign up below and pay by card to begin.
Step 2) Tell us about your business
After signing up you'll be taken to a special questionnaire page, designed by our PR experts to help you to put your best foot forward to media.
You'll have the chance to explain your business, the problems you are solving and the benefits your products and services provide for your customers.
You'll also have a chance to tell media about your own unique founder story - how and why you started your business - along with supplying photos, videos, social media pages, and of course your website and contact details for any journalists that want to know more.
Completing the questionnaire is a positive and fun opportunity to tell your story so far and takes between 10 - 20 minutes to complete.
Step 3) Let the introductions begin!
Your business story and contact details will be distributed at the beginning of the next business day to our network of 50+ journalists and editors, and relevant industry media who use Startup Watch to keep up with new New Zealand businesses.
Sit back knowing that your media outreach journey has started on the right foot, with a professional and anticipated introduction from FoundrPR, a team trusted by both founders and media for sharing business and innovation stories that matter.
Bonus Startup Profile Listing!
In addition to your media introductions, your answers will also be used to create a unique profile feature for your startup, published in a special Startup Watch section for media on New Zealand's #1 ranking entrepreneur website NZ Entrepreneur. (Also great for your SEO!)
That's 50+ no stress email introductions to media and a custom media profile page for your business with all your key details - all for just $NZ195.
