An editorial-first checklist for writing concise and verifiable startup announcements.

Put the news first

Lead with what happened, who is involved and why the update matters. Keep promotional adjectives to a minimum.

Provide verifiable context

Support important claims with dates, figures, names and references that can be verified.

Make quotes useful

Use an authorized spokesperson quote to explain intent or impact rather than repeating the headline.

Check the details

Review legal names, product information, image permissions and company contact details before distribution.
