Incubate PR, Inc. (www.incubatepr.com), a new high technology public relations agency solely dedicated to launching early-stage, venture-funded Internet startups, officially launched today, marked by an invitation-only event tonight in San Francisco for venture capitalists, technology incubators, Internet startups and media.
Founded by technology public relations veteran Jeff Davis, Incubate PR is carving a niche in the high technology public relations market with a highly focused approach that takes companies recently incubated or funded by venture capitalists from stealth mode to market awareness. Through its non-traditional, "launch only" model, Incubate PR is addressing changes it sees in the dot-com market to represent clients more efficiently and effectively.
"Our launch-only model has definitely struck a positive chord with the venture community and technology incubators, as evidenced by the meetings we've already conducted, and the feedback received from VCs, incubators, media and potential clients," said Davis. "While some startups will continue to be well-represented by the larger, established technology PR agencies, we believe we've uncovered an opportunity that not only addresses a changing market, but one that responds to the pressures facing companies that need to establish awareness very quickly."
eFounders, LLC, a new company recently incubated by San Francisco-based DigitalVentures, is Incubate PR's first client. eFounders is a San Francisco-based company offering personal finance, investment and other services to founders and senior executives of privately held Internet startups. The company also develops eFounders.com, a destination Web site offering founders a wide range of financial-related information to help them make personal investment decisions.
