Hey Product Hunt, We’re super excited to share EllisX with you. Why we created EllisX We’re entrepreneurs and have experienced the pain of trying to secure media coverage for our startups ourselves. We know how difficult and time-consuming it is to find relevant podcasters, writers and event organizers, craft the perfect pitch for each one of them...and how disappointing it is to never hear back. We’re tired of hearing the same stories over and over again, and seeing so many talented entrepreneurs not get the recognition they deserve, simply because they don’t know the right people. That’s why we built EllisX. Our product is designed to help startups increase brand awareness through media coverage and speaking engagements. The best part? It only takes 2 clicks. Who is EllisX for? Startups looking to increase brand awareness without breaking the bank. If you’re full-time on your business, have a product in the market and initial traction, we’re here to help. What is EllisX? “EllisX is solving a need in the marketplace by connecting entrepreneurs with speaking opportunities and journalists. I’ve only been part of the platform for a short time and because of EllisX, I recently spoke on a panel for female entrepreneurs. Thank you, EllisX!” - Robyn Parets We have a special 12% discount for the Product Hunt community for the next 48 hours. Just mention you found us through PH and we’ll follow up with details. We’re looking forward to getting your feedback on EllisX! Thank you, Leia & Richard

Mark Fence
This solves a pretty major pain point for startups and early founders, @riomensah and @leia_ruseva. Is there a way for me to connect with you? An email address perhaps?

@riomensah @leia_ruseva @markfence Hey Mark, thanks for the support. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Here's my email -> richard@ellisx.com.

I like the idea! I can’t see the best part of the “2 clicks” though so that’s a bit confusing.

@krupali_patel Hey Krupali, it typically takes tons of effort and hours of email pitches for startups to get such opportunities. We've compressed this process to just 2 clicks (or less than a minute). Hope this helps.
Krupali
@leia_ruseva Hi. Less than a minute makes more sense than 2 clicks to me. Thanks for clarifying.
Richard Mensah

@krupali_patel , Thanks for bringing this up. It takes only 2 clicks for startups to connect with relevant media and event opportunities. These opportunities are posted on the platform by media and event users who are looking for experts. This saves startups a lot of time and money as compared to the current alternatives.

@riomensah Hi. Thanks for sharing this info. This sounds like a promising opportunity.

Great idea and for 99 it is a no brainer! Would love to get a sense of what type of startups actually get matched and published. Any data you can share?
Richard Mensah

@martin_carrica1 Sure Martin, so far we've matched a number of early-stage startups (Bootstrapped - Series A) who have a product in the market.

HI @leia_ruseva1 this is one of the most useful marketing tools I have seen. Just signed up to be on the wait list :( One question - how different is it from HARO? Also shared it in one of my answers on Quora.

@vishal_srivastava3 Thanks, Vishal! No worries, we do this to ensure the companies on the platform are of high-quality. Expect a follow up email soon from us. We are a business-ready platform for teams.
