What we do

  • Our proven formula - built on deep VC and media relationships - ensures your company news commands the attention it deserves. 

    With our journalist-led approach that fosters genuine partnership between investors, founders and the media and aligns your story perfectly with the editorial cycle. 

    We work regularly with TechCrunch, securing 100+ pieces of coverage since launch, and several since the European team disbanded.

  • We develop clear, impactful messaging that defines your value in a way that’s both ambitious and authentic - tailored to each of your audiences. For VCs, this means distinct messaging for LPs and founders, addressing their unique priorities while reinforcing your overarching proposition. 

    Every message is designed for real-world application across corporate and media content, ensuring it resonates wherever it’s shared.

  • We ensure you communicate at the centre of tech influence in every region in which you operate. With deep relationships across English-speaking media in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia, we craft tailored PR programmes that balance consistency with regional nuance. 

    And when local language expertise is needed, our trusted network of freelance specialists ensures your message resonates - wherever you’re looking to make an impact.

  • We craft content that positions you as a leading industry voice. Working closely with you, our in-house team of top journalists develops unique narratives grounded in key industry themes - stress-tested with our media contacts to ensure they resonate. 

    From high-impact bylines and whitepapers to press releases, handbooks, and reports, every piece is expertly written to engage both your audience and the media.

  • From VC partner and CEO transitions to high-stakes portfolio company crises, we work directly with boards and C-suites to safeguard reputation and maintain stakeholder confidence. 

    By aligning communications with business strategy, we help shape the narrative, manage risk, and maintain stakeholder confidence.

  • Proactively fostering dynamic, mutually beneficial relationships between our clients and their key influencers is crucial to communicating at the centre of tech influence:

    • Exclusive Roundtables: Leveraging our extensive industry connections, we design and run exclusive roundtables, bringing together the right voices to spark impactful discussions.

    • Industry Events: We work with your team to secure speaking opportunities at leading events, using compelling storylines crafted by our in-house journalists.

    • LinkedIn Profile Raising: We build your spokesperson’s profile through strategic LinkedIn content, driving engagement and deepening connections across the ecosystem.

    We’re constantly connecting the dots - making introductions across the industry. It’s not a paid offering or a referral scheme; it’s simply the result of us being truly embedded in the industry.

  • Applying our deep understanding of your business goals, we identify the industry themes that will enable you to communicate your core messages. From there, our expert journalist team puts your spokespeople through their paces, sharpening their perspective into a compelling, authoritative voice. 

    Our newsroom-style approach means we go beyond pitching stories -  collaborating with top-tier media to shape narratives that fit their feature cycles and bring them to life through regular interviews, bylines and commentary.

  • Our work centres on Dynamic Partnership, because true success is born from mutual value creation. We respect every interaction as a two-way relationship - whether through our dynamic engagement with the tech ecosystem, journalist relationships, or our client partnerships. 

    Fast-tracking to the centre of tech influence isn’t about pushing a one-sided agenda. It’s about strategic collaboration that unlocks true value.
