We have no media list, and we are not inventing one

Waiting on you
  • No journalist, newsletter, podcast or outlet appears in any source.
  • Only people the team has read, heard or met go on the list.
  • Each entry carries a recent piece we read and who on our team knows them.
  • Outreach waits until the name is picked and the press kit exists.
  • A founder writes each first note by hand, never a mail merge.

Answer

We have no media list: no source names a journalist, newsletter, podcast or outlet worth reaching, and none is invented here; this page sets how the list is built and kept, and waits for Param to name the first entries.

How we do it

Proposed, until Param accepts:

  1. Only a real person or outlet someone on the team has read, listened to or met goes on the list.
  2. Each entry holds: name, outlet, what they cover, a recent piece of theirs we read, who on our team knows them, and the date added.
  3. Kinds to look for, not names: founder and D2C newsletters, e-commerce and Shopify trade writers, marketing podcasts, AI tool reviewers, and the hosts of the founder communities the audiences already use.
  4. Nobody is contacted until the press kit and Claims we can make are ready.
  5. A founder writes each first note by hand; never a mail merge.
  6. Remove anyone who asks, the same day.

  1. Who are the first five names? Proposal: Param lists five people the team already reads or knows, India first, and this page records them with why.
  2. India first, or global? Proposal: India first, since every partner is Indian; copy stays plain global English.
  3. Who owns outreach? Proposal: Param, with one named backup from Sai or Arvind.
  4. When do we start? Proposal: the week after the name is announced, with the press kit attached.
