Who we are

We are Publicize, a public relations firm that helps growing businesses build their brands and get exposure. Building connections between the technology startup community and the media is paramount to our mission, both to educate founders about how journalists and editors operate, as well as to introduce the media to startups innovating within their fields.

 

This is why we created Connect, a series of free, online and in-person competitions that bring together leading members of the media with the most innovative startups from around the world. At every Connect event, six groundbreaking startups pitch their ventures to a panel of Media Judges and receive valuable feedback about their companies before the panel selects a winner.

Past Media Judges include journalists and editors from publications including The Financial Times, The New York Times, Forbes, TechCrunch, The Next Web, Fast Company, Associated Press, and more.

"The VOA Futures Fund Community Health Incubator is proud to have worked with Publicize for our mentor series for three years. The Publicize staff has done an amazing job with matching the right mentors with the ventures we are serving. We have seen ventures make connections with mentors outside of the event to receive additional support for their enterprise. As we are a new Incubator and traditionally in the non-profit space, Publicize has been able to provide our ventures with key mentors that has helped them to obtain knowledge to grow and scale their businesses."

Tiffany Gathers, Senior Manager of Social Impact Development at Volunteers of America
