🚀 Startups only get one chance to launch — but so many blow it.

You’d be surprised how often founders spend months building their product, expanding into new markets, or raising funds…
Then, when it’s time to tell the world, they just wing it.

No strategy. No storytelling. No media prep.
Just a press wire, a cold pitch, and a prayer.

So — if you ever want to ruin your startup launch announcement (especially when expanding to the U.S.), here’s the perfect playbook 👇

💣 5 Terrible Ideas to Make Your Launch Crash and Burn:

1. Skip PR altogether.
Just quietly open your U.S. office. If you’re big at home, clients and investors will magically find you, right?

2. Don’t plan ahead.
Forget about giving journalists time to review your story or offer exclusives. Tier 1 media totally have time to turn things around overnight... Yeah, sure.

3. Let ChatGPT write your press release.
Who needs a human touch? Reporters love AI-written press releases — especially when they’ve already read 200 that week.

4. Use the cheapest press wire.
Just run it through a random wire service and enjoy your mentions on Bloomberg.NET. Totally the same thing as real Bloomberg.

5. Skip the follow-up.
No post-launch interviews, no op-eds, no thought leadership. Why build momentum when you can let your launch die quietly?

Because remember:
👉 You only launch once.
And if you mess it up, no one will even know you tried. 😬

P.S. The same playbook works if you want to tank your fundraising announcement too. 😉

Breaking into tier-1 media as an early-stage startup can feel impossible.
You don’t have massive funding. You don’t have millions of users. You might not even have a full PR team.

But here’s the thing — you don’t need any of that to get noticed by top publications.
What you do need is a story that matters.

Over the past few years, we’ve helped early-stage startups land features in Forbes, Fast Company, Business Insider, TechCrunch, and more — all without paid placements or expensive retainers.

Here’s what actually works 👇

🧠 1. Share your own data.
A location-based VR startup analyzed 9 months of visitor data across 11 sites in Eastern Europe — and landed a Forbes U.S. feature ahead of its American launch.

📚 2. Lead with your expertise.
An EdTech founder (who’s also a bestselling author) shared insights on overcoming procrastination — and Fast Company picked it up.

🌍 3. Tell your personal story.
A VC founder opened up about her journey as an immigrant entrepreneur — and Business Insider and Entrepreneur U.S. told her story.

🤝 4. Announce powerful partnerships.
Small teams can have big allies.
Our AdTech clients earned TechCrunch and Digiday coverage after teaming up with Twitch and Gaana.

🔬 5. Highlight real breakthroughs.
If your product is backed by research or proven results, the media listens.
Clinical data from one client’s trials led to tier-1 coverage.

Let’s be honest — without massive funding or traction, getting into top media is tough.
But what you already have is powerful:

👉 Your insights.
👉 Your data.
👉 Your innovation.

Use that.
That’s your headline.

💡 PR cycles can take forever — but what if your biotech story can’t wait?

Building thought leadership in biotech is hard.
Especially when you’re still in early trials, competing with billion-dollar players, and tackling one of the most complex diseases in the world: Alzheimer’s.

So, we did something different.

👉 Instead of waiting for traditional PR momentum, we focused on the founder.
We helped CEO of Nuravax, Roman Kniazev , step into the spotlight — and made him the storyteller behind the science.

In just 90 days, he went from under-the-radar to widely published across top-tier biotech and mainstream outlets. Here's what we landed:

📢 12+ media hits across 3 continents in 3 months.

🎯 We positioned him as a thought leader in Alzheimer’s prevention — not in theory, but in action.

This is what smart founder PR looks like.
If you’re a biotech innovator with a bold mission and no time to waste, don’t wait to get noticed.

Your science is complex. Your story doesn’t have to be.

Let’s talk.

We helped a U.S. startup break into the Arab media — because the right story travels, and we know how to move it.

📍From Palo Alto to Riyadh: Our client PGxAI has partnered with Saudi Arabia’s Najashi Holding to bring its AI-powered pharmacogenomics platform to the Kingdom — aligning with Vision 2030 and the region’s bold healthcare transformation agenda.

🇸🇦 This isn’t just a funding round. It’s a strategic move:
✔️ Localizing precision medicine in Saudi Arabia
✔️ Leveraging the Saudi Genome Program
✔️ Building in-country AI and genomics capabilities
✔️ Advancing ultra-personalized care at scale

🎯 With equity from Najashi Holding toward PGxAI’s planned $20M Series A, and full public-private sector support, this partnership sets the stage for Saudi Arabia to lead in global precision medicine.

📰 We’re proud to have brought this milestone to the Arab media — where stories like this belong. If you're a tech company ready to go global, don't just ""announce"" — arrive.

We don't do press. We build presence.

When a London-based language learning platform—powered by personalized AI avatars—approached VStar PR with $2M ARR and 1.2M users across 100 countries, they already had traction.

➡️Crafted op-eds spotlighting avatar-enabled learning benefits

➡️Secured stories in investor, tech, and education outlets

➡️Told the founders’ vision through profile features

➡️Released data-driven press statements on engagement and outcomes

Their efforts paid off—coverage in World edu, AI Journal, Mobile App Daily, and Tech.eu—and, together, the app raised over $30M in Series A.

Here's how we helped launch a new tech trend — and name it, too.

Our client had a bold idea: an augmented reality layer designed to “unite the physical and virtual worlds” through Digital Land.

At VStar PR, we named and launched BlockchainMix — a hybrid conference blending blockchain with AR and VR (Mixed Reality) to introduce the concept and spotlight the founders as pioneers.

✅ We reframed a complex story into a compelling media narrative
✅ Positioned the team as category creators, not just product builders
✅ Secured global coverage in top-tier finance, crypto, tech, and AR/VR outlets

The launch helped fuel a major fundraise and move Arcona from stealth to spotlight.
