In five months, I'll be parting ways with Washington, DC, and moving to San Francisco to try my hand with the bright lights away from the shadow of the Beltway.

In an effort to build up a network in the Bay Area in advance of my arrival, I've decided to give cash-strapped startups PR help, pro bono and no strings attached. The only cost of entry is that you have an interesting story to tell. (Disclaimer: the selection process will be totally subjective.)

I've founded two startups of my own, so I know how difficult it can be to find (and pay for) good help in the early stages. That said: I'm happy to assist founders with everything from developing an overall communications strategy, to providing media lists and pitching. Whatever you need.

About me: I'm a 26 year old media relations generalist who's spent the past three years as publicist-for-hire by day and a startup founder by night. In that dual-role, I've built up a small communications consultancy and founded two startups. The first made it off the ground for a brief stint in 2010. The second has yet to launch. My work in PR/MR has funded both.

If your startup could use a little help, get in touch. Email in profile.
