About The Blitz

Bridging the gap between innovative startups and impactful media coverage.

Our Story

The Blitz was born out of frustration. As former journalists and startup founders, we saw a disconnect between innovative companies doing amazing things and the media coverage they deserved.

Founded in 2025, we set out to create a platform that would democratize access to media coverage. We believe that great innovations deserve attention, regardless of PR budget or industry connections.

Today, The Blitz connects hundreds of startups with journalists looking for their next big story, resulting in meaningful coverage that helps startups grow and journalists discover compelling narratives.
