THE AGENCY MODEL
IS A PROTECTION RACKET.

A retainer at $8K–$15K/month. Six weeks to onboard. A junior account manager who pitches your story to 40 journalists using a templated email from a shared domain. Reply rate: 0.8%. Coverage: one mention in a trade pub nobody reads. That is the industry standard. We quit it and built something that actually pitches.

BRIEF TO STORY

Paste a product update, a funding number, or a milestone. The agent returns 3 story angles. Not press release vomit. Each one has a draft communique, a suggested headline, and talking points for interviews. Pick one or mix and match.

JOURNALIST RADAR

A live database of 14,000+ journalists and 3,200 podcast hosts, clustered by beat: AI, fintech, climate, consumer, B2B SaaS. For every pitch, the agent explains exactly why each journalist is on the list. Not "they cover tech." More like: "They published three pieces on AI pricing last quarter and tend to respond to founders with concrete numbers."

PITCH AUTOPILOT

Each pitch references the journalist's last 3 published articles. It goes out from your Gmail or Outlook, not a mass-mailing domain. Follow-ups happen at day 3 and day 7. You set the threshold for what auto-sends versus what waits for your approval.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Philadelphia, PA, April 21, 2026

FINSTACK RAISES $6M SERIES A TO REPLACE MANUAL RECONCILIATION AT MID-MARKET BANKS

FINSTACK, the automated reconciliation platform for community banks and credit unions, today announced a $6 million Series A round led by Foundry Partners, with participation from existing angel investors. The company will use proceeds to expand its engineering team and accelerate deployment across its 40-bank pipeline.

Founded in 2024, FinStack currently processes $1.2 billion in daily transactions for 12 institutions, reducing manual reconciliation time by 74 percent. The platform integrates with core banking systems in under 48 hours (competitors typically take three to six months).

"Community banks are running 30-year-old reconciliation workflows on spreadsheets. Every error costs them 4 hours to investigate," said CEO Jana Reeves. "We built this to cut that to zero."

"Three journalist replies in the first week. One of them turned into a 1,200-word feature. I've been pitching manually for two years and got nothing close to that."

Reza Tehrani Founder, Loopfield (B2B SaaS, Series A)

Amelia Rourke, Head of Marketing at Draftly

"I was skeptical about the personalization claim. Then I read the first batch of pitches the agent drafted. It had pulled quotes from articles the journalists wrote six months ago and tied them directly to our product angle. I would have never done that research manually. That would have been a full day per journalist. Now we're running two campaigns a month."

Amelia Rourke Head of Marketing, Draftly (SF)

Pablo Serrano, agency lead at Serrano + Partners

"We run PR for eight clients. Before Press Monkey, each campaign meant four to six hours of research, drafting, and scheduling. We were the bottleneck. Now the agent handles the first two weeks of outreach autonomously, and we come in when a journalist replies and actually wants to talk. Our clients see more activity than they did before, and we charge the same retainer. The margin difference is significant. I'd call it embarrassing how long we waited to try this."

Pablo Serrano Managing Partner, Serrano + Partners (Madrid)

"I write a newsletter, not a startup. I figured this wasn't for me. Turns out podcast bookers don't care. They booked me on three shows in the first month, one with 40K weekly listeners. Worth every dollar."

Jade Nkemelu Writer, The Coverage Gap newsletter (Austin)

Do I need PR experience to use Press Monkey?

No. You paste in a product update, a funding announcement, or a milestone. The agent figures out the angles, picks the right journalists for each one, and writes personalized pitches. You review and approve, or turn on auto-send for low-risk batches.

How is this different from sending a press release blast?

A blast goes to 10,000 people who mostly ignore it. Press Monkey pitches maybe 30–80 journalists per story, each with a pitch that references their recent work. Reply rates are 8–18% versus the industry average of 1–3% for bulk blasts.

What does "pitching from my own email" mean?

You connect your Gmail or Outlook via OAuth. Pitches go out from your address, not from a domain journalists have learned to filter. Follow-ups at day 3 and day 7 are also sent from your inbox. You can review the queue before anything goes out.

Can I use this for podcast booking only?

Yes. The Podcast Booker sub-agent runs independently. It matches your background to relevant shows, drafts a guest pitch, handles the back-and-forth with producers, and sends you a briefing doc before each interview. Ongoing plan and above.

Is there a free trial?

The Launch plan comes with a 7-day trial, no card required. You can run one full story campaign during the trial: brief to pitches to first follow-ups. If you don't get at least one reply, we extend your trial, no questions.

What if a journalist replies and I need to respond?

That part is you. Press Monkey handles the cold outreach and follow-up sequence. When a journalist replies, you take it from there. You know your story better than any agent does. We flag the reply in your dashboard and give you a suggested response draft if you want one.
