Sites that are relevant to your audience. Don't prioritize "startup" sites over industry-specific sites.

This 1000x. If you're fundraising and want to get in front of investors then sure, spend a little time pining for TC/HN coverage, but you should spend most of your time in front of your specific industry.

If B2B, decide on a few target verticals. Verticals that post email addresses to websites would help you get started easily, else get creative with linked in and google to find emails.

Then create an email campaign using something like Toutapp.com to email these people telling them you'd like their opinion on a tool that does x for their needs.

If consumer, try the same thing with facebook or similar.

Logged in just to say the same thing. If you're asking this question without even knowing where your target market hang out online, you've already lost.

Hmm. It seems to me, that if you answer such a question, then you do not know who your users are. And this is not good for your startup. Because you have to know your users to be able to fix problems worth fixing. So try ask another question. Who are my users? And what actual problem I want to fix for them? Then, I think, you will be able to find a way to them.
