demo day Materials for Media Partners
If you have 1K+, 10K+, or 100K+ email subscribers (startup, tech, VC, or business audience), you can become our media partner to get mutual PR
The last time, we reached 1,500 registrations because our media partners invited their audience via email newsletters & social media.
We would be very grateful if you could share the announcements below.
If you do an email newsletter, we’ll provide you with:
Guaranteed access to the event on the 14th of April, including the networking list of all participants, where you can filter angels, VCs, family offices, founders, and other groups to build new connections. Email / LinkedIn / other filters are available. (Subject to attendees agreeing for their details to be shared which is usually about 70%).
Shoutout in the email newsletter (8K + subscribers) to all participants and our wider audience after the conference + promotion of any of your perks/ discounts
Shoutout on the LinkedIn post after the event (18K+ followers).
Promotion in additional materials to event participants.
Your logo on our website and event listing.
We’ll need a blurb of your firm under 300 characters + a link (we can take from your website, but you can send a specific call-to-action link, for example, “subscribe here”) + a logo (we can take it from your website).
Comments
Ideally, make a separate email newsletter (the best). Second best option: include info about the event in the first 100 words of your email newsletter.
Include us: vasily@rarefounders.com, fraya@rarefounders.com, marketing@rarefounders.com in your email list, and after your email is out, it would be great if you could share the statistics with us (optional).
