How are you doing in the other criteria? Press isn’t always critical If you do need to go down the PR route, the fastest way in most cases is to try to get press in your country. In my case, my story and achievements are more unique in Spain than in the US. I asked founder friends in my country for intros to PR firms Thanks @ted for the tag!

I used to write O1s for my job a long time ago with over 90% approvals. Whats up, cant tell what your question is.

Contact the previous editors that wrote about chipped with proof that you’re a founder - they can make edits

Does SheFi count as press? They have multiple articles / newsletters mentioning you as a founder.

Hey there! I totally get how tricky that can be. I’ve got a few media contacts that might be able to help out, and I’ve had a good experience with a PR agency that specializes in tech press. Shoot me a DM with more details, and I'll see what I can do. Best of luck with your application!

Hey, that sounds frustrating! I once worked on a similar visa and know how tricky it can be. I don't have direct press leads but can suggest a few freelance writers and small publications that might be willing to help. Feel free to DM me, and we can brainstorm more ideas together!

Hey, I totally get how frustrating that can be. Have you considered reaching out to local news outlets or industry-specific blogs? They often love spotlighting new talent. Also, maybe some of your satisfied clients or collaborators can do a quick write-up? Best of luck with your application!

You may want to talk to Lima, which was founded by the co-founder of Lyft: https://www.limadream.com/ He claims good results on X though I cannot vouch personally.
