The Problem

PR agencies charge $5K–$15K/mo for media outreach. Cision/Meltwater journalist databases cost $10K+/yr. Finding the RIGHT journalist for your story requires research. Cold pitching has 1–3% response rate. HARO died (acquired and changed). No tool matches your story to journalist beats with AI.

The Solution
