For founders, getting press coverage remains as critical as ever to bolster their goals. However, the process has become more challenging, since traditional tech publications have narrowed their focus, influencer-driven distribution has blurred the lines between journalism and promotion, and access — even for newsworthy stories — is harder than ever to earn.
At Mindset Consulting, we work extensively with startups and tech companies around the world and help them secure quality media coverage regularly. We’ve witnessed first-hand how, despite the changes, being featured in trusted publications still leads to inbound opportunities, partnerships, and even funding.

Final thoughts
Earning media coverage in 2025 means knowing where your story fits and who actually needs to hear it. The outlets we’ve listed aren’t tier-1, household names, but they’re trusted within their ecosystems and read by decision-makers, including potential investors and strategic partners. Often, a well-placed feature in a niche publication does more for your company than a one-off mention in a major outlet. As we’ve seen, media coverage can accelerate your startup journey, but it needs to start with the right story pitched to the right people — this starts with knowing your angle and reaching out with purpose.
