How to Write a Press Release for Funding News

Investors and press look for different signals than a typical product announcement.

1. State the amount raised, the round type, and lead investors clearly and early.
2. Include a quote from both the founder and a lead investor if possible.
3. Explain what the funding will specifically be used for, not just "scaling the team."
4. Include basic traction metrics if available — they add credibility beyond the raise itself.
