Get Your Startup PR Published on Fe/male Switch

Transform your latest milestone into credible media coverage that actually moves the needle.
Every week, thousands of startup founders achieve something worth celebrating: securing funding, launching innovative products, signing game-changing partnerships. But here's the problem: most of these wins disappear into the noise of social media or get buried in generic press release databases that nobody reads.

We're a 50-DA platform with 10,000+ monthly visitors who are exactly who you want to reach: fellow entrepreneurs, potential customers, and investors actively scouting the startup ecosystem. When your story goes live, it doesn't just get published, it gets seen by people who matter.

Here's How It Works

Getting your story published is surprisingly simple. Fill out our online form (you can either paste your finished copy or just give us the raw details like funding amount, key metrics, founder quotes, and what makes your startup special).
Within 48 hours, our editorial team reviews your submission to make sure it fits our community and meets our quality standards. If you're handling the writing yourself, we'll approve and publish your polished copy as-is. If you'd prefer professional help crafting your narrative, our startup-savvy writers will transform your bullet points and data into a compelling story that highlights what makes your company unique.
Once approved, your article goes live with a permanent URL, complete founder bio section, and your website backlink. We immediately share it across all our social channels, and you get a professional piece of content you can reference in investor updates, customer conversations, and future PR efforts.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

Free Publication: Already have great copy? Submit your finished article along with a hero image and founder bio. We'll review it and publish for free, all you have to do is link back to it on your startup website. You get the permanent URL, backlink, social promotion at zero cost.
Professional Copywriting: €40: Prefer to focus on building your startup while we handle the storytelling? Send us your raw data (funding details, product specs, team info, customer testimonials) and we'll craft a professional release that positions your company for maximum impact.
Both options include the same publication benefits: permanent hosting on our high-authority domain, backlink to your website, founder bio and social links, and promotion to our social media followers. Prices are upfront with no hidden fees, and we offer a 100% refund if your submission doesn't get approved.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional PR agencies that charge thousands for uncertain results, or press release services that blast your story to nobody in particular, Fe/male Switch focuses on quality over quantity. We're not trying to get you coverage in 500 random outlets, we're getting you meaningful visibility in front of the startup community that actually matters for your business.
Your story stays live permanently, continues generating SEO value months later, and gives you a professional reference point for future fundraising, partnerships, and hiring efforts.

Ideal News Topics to Feature

Use your press release to announce:

  • New product launches or innovative services
  • Major company milestones or funding achievements
  • Speaking engagements, community initiatives, or awards
  • Collaborations, partnerships, or events

Each topic helps build your startup’s story and credibility while engaging your target audience.

Tips for a Successful Press Release

  • Write engaging headlines that catch attention.
  • Integrate relevant keywords naturally to boost SEO.
  • Include high-quality images to increase shareability.
  • Provide clear, complete contact information for follow-up.
