Getting press as an unknown founder is nearly impossible. So I built a newspaper that covers startups on merit, not connections: daily startup news, founder stories and tactics, written to broadsheet standards. Coverage is free.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Jim, and I run The Founder Gazette on my own from Cornwall, UK.
Here's the pain I kept seeing: as founders, builders and creators, we all have these amazing stories, that should be shared on merit. Not by who you know. Or how much you just raised, but because the idea is genuinely interesting. Will it be the next Unicorn? Who knows. But the story itself might spark more creativity.
The tech press has a structural gap. If you've raised a big round or you're already known, coverage finds you. If you're unknown, your launch disappears — not because the product's bad, but because nobody is paid to look at it.
So I built the newspaper I wished existed. The Founder Gazette is an independent daily covering three beats — startup news, founder stories, and practical tactics — written to broadsheet standards. AI helps me run the pipeline; nothing publishes without passing my editorial review.
Two things I want to be upfront about: coverage is free and it's earned. There's a paid option that gets your story considered faster — it never buys an article and never changes a word of one. And I'm a solo operation. I think that's a feature: one editorial standard, no content farm.
If you're launching something, tell me about it in the comments. I read every pitch — and some of today's comments will become this week's stories.
