Hey Salvador, just saw your comment. We're a crowdsourced R&D platform and community for entrepreneurs, inventors, and startups. I'll PM you with a few more details!

Curious on the same as above^^ (expos)

The article talks about contacting the press. What is the best way to go about doing that?

@SomewhereOutThere - It depends on the publication. Usually via email or trying to get their attention via social media first is best (and then sending them an email). You can also indirectly get press with websites like Haro.

You need an angle for your story, a compelling title for the email to get them to click on it, and keep the email short and an expanded story via your press release. Keep in mind what types of topics the reporter writes on and why this is a good story for their audience.

These are really excellent tips. They are clear and to the point. I especially found this to be useful, "Don’t forget to create your own hashtag to brand your campaign – you can use the tag across various social media platforms."

I think we will use #vatman . Anyone have any ideas that would be a better hashtag for us?

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into that when I get home from work today
