Getting featured on Spotlight On Startups is simple. If you’re building something real and want to share your founder journey, here’s exactly how the process works.
Our goal is to make it easy for founders to tell their story, build credibility, and get published without a complicated application process.
Step 1: Book Your Free Interview
Start by visiting our Book An Interview page and scheduling your free interview.
Choose a time that works for you, and we’ll guide you through the next steps. There is no cost to book and no fee required to be featured.
Step 2: Receive Your Written Q&A
After you book, you’ll receive a written Q&A with guided questions about your startup, your journey, and what you’re building.
The questions are designed to make the process simple, even if you’ve never done a founder interview before. You do not need to prepare anything complicated.
Step 3: Share Your Startup Story
Complete the written Q&A by sharing your story in your own words.
This is your chance to talk about:
- what you’re building
- why you started
- the challenges you’ve faced
- the lessons you’ve learned
- where your startup is headed
We focus on authentic founder stories, not generic press release language.
Step 4: We Prepare Your Feature
Once you submit your responses, we review, format, and prepare your feature for publication on Spotlight On Startups.
Our goal is to present your story clearly and professionally while keeping your voice and journey at the center of the feature.
Step 5: Get Published in 3–7 Days
Most founder features are published within 3 to 7 days after your written Q&A is submitted.
Your story will appear on Spotlight On Startups as a public feature that helps increase credibility, visibility, and discoverability.
Step 6: Share Your Feature Across Social Media
After publication, you’ll receive your feature along with text you can use to promote it across your social media and other channels.
This gives you a ready-to-share publicity asset you can use to:
- build founder credibility
- highlight your startup publicly
- create momentum around your story
- drive more visibility online
