## About

Startup Beat is a startup news and media site that publishes news, features, startup stories and startup pitches, and it accepts content from early-stage startups. Founders submit content through a General Content Submission form at startupbeat.com/content-submission. The page says a Startup Beat monthly subscription lets a company submit up to five content pieces per month: articles, press releases or company announcements, Pitches, or job and hiring announcements. The site does not show a subscription price. Startup Beat vets startups against guidelines: no more than $4 million raised from outside investors, no more than a Series A raise, an independent company, spinoff or incubated entity, and founders who consider it early-stage. Submissions are edited only for spelling and obvious grammar errors, and libelous or defamatory content is rejected. Body text is limited to 900 words.

## How to submit

Complete the General Content Submission form with name, email, author byline name, a link validating the writer's credentials, and body text of no more than 900 words. Startup Beat vets the startup against its early-stage guidelines. Once the submission is posted, you receive an email with the link.
