Thanks @tribaling for hunting Presshour. We created a resource http://promotehour.com last year which turned out to be extremely useful for 40k+ founders. Lot of folks asked us for a resource which would cover Media Outlets. So we created Presshour. What you see on homepage is pretty crude version 1.0. Ultimately, we want to turn it in to a place where you just to pick category relevant to your startup and you get a list of Media outlets you should pitch your startup to. I am sure there are several hundreds media outlets across the world which could be relevant for any startup. We have just 400 till now :) Do share your feedback on how we can improve on it.

@soundankar I think it's a really simple and winning concept. Possibly it would be useful to have contact info to the most prominent journalists and the niche they cover. But I realize that is a gigantic work, and what you have here is enough for startups to start thinking about potential venues for their PR. Good job!

@tribaling thanks Elia. Yeah we will mostly focus on adding more outlets and making it easier to use.

How do you guys send the emails to journalists?

@crixlet Hey Aaron, We don't do any outreach on behalf of clients as of now. This is just a free resource where people can find out the media outlets to pitch their startups.

Good resource, another useful resource I found was http://submit.co. It would have been good if you provided link to their submit section.

@sanketmehta7 Thanks Sanket! We didn't include it for couple of reasons: 1. We kind of don't encourage submitting directly from the Submit section of any media outlet. Instead, it is good practice to find a journalist from the media outlet relevant to your startup and reach out to him/her. 2. I think only 15-20% have submit link page. That leaves a huge blank column for most of the entries. Hope it helps. Happy to hear any suggestions you might have on how we can make it better.

Where are we in pricing? You guys need to be transparent about pricing in your website.

@sidrock28 Hey Sid, we haven't really figured out the pricing yet. for the paid service. That's why we just put a landing page with a concept. As soon as we are ready, we will put it online. Hope that works.
