Ask HN: Any Startups Interested in PRaaS?

9 points·jkaykin··10 comments

I know many startups/developers struggle with pr and getting coverage and I was thinking of starting a PRaaS (Public Relations as a Service). It would be a no BS startup service that would help create compelling copy, a strong product description and reach out to the press in order to get coverage and help with launch. Other services could also be offered. Would anyone be interested in this?

It's not clear if you're suggesting a PR agency aimed at startups or some more automated system ?

Yes. Without a question yes.

If i could pay something between $25 to $100 a month to get someone to ensure that my outgoing 'notices' weren't terrible sludge that put off anyone non technical. Then my side projects would be much more valuable.

Great! What's the best way to get in contact with you?

Id like this and would use it. you will need to be able to craft a good story to stand out.

Would love to talk more, what's your email?

Like the concept - it would be a great help. It might be a bit difficult to scale, considering that you'd have to price the PRaaS for startups, who don't always have enough funds to spend on PR..but you should give it a shot.

So...a PR company?

Are there not any services currently that let you send out press releases?

Sure, I'd definitely consider this.
