Curated lists of journalists to get press for your startup
We just hit 50 paid customers for Jonapr.com after 2 months of launch. Personally I was hoping to get to 100 but I haven't really had time to market it that well.
This looks like a good validation for what we are doing. What makes it even more special that we built an app to help people find relevant journalists and it got no more than 10 paying customers.
And the feedback has been quite good: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/jonapr
We have been helping startups in getting press coverage for the last 4 years. While the service model has been decent, we wanted to have a product that would have a bigger impact. Something thousands of people can use and not just a few every month.
So, we started working on Jona - curated lists of journalists for 40+ categories. We reached out to our friend Kevin to hunt us on PH and he gladly obliged. Finally launched the website on Producthunt. The launched was decent, got 150+ upvotes, an endorsement from Hiten Shah and more than 20+ orders and some really good testimonials. Enough to keep us motivated.

Current media databases like Muckrack, Meltwater costs $6000/year. Whereas the latest PR startups like Justreachout, Presshunt cost $130+/month which is expensive for early-stage startups.
