Favourable posting/traffic window Publicly available SimilarWeb traffic data (May-Aug 2023 snapshots) shows the highest visit shares on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and between 10:00-16:00 CET, suggesting mid-week mornings/early afternoons as optimal publishing slots. No official editorial guidance is published. Content that tends to perform well • Funding announcements with clear European angle • "Top-10/15 startups to watch" city or sector lists • Exclusive founder/VC interviews • Market or ecosystem reports backed by data Good practice (dos) ✓ Pitch news that is timely, genuinely Europe-focused and backed by facts or funding details. ✓ Provide short, press-ready copy (≈300–400 words), high-resolution logo, and founder photo. ✓ If proposing sponsored content, disclose it clearly and follow the site’s native advertising guidelines. ✓ Engage during major events (EU-Startups Summit, Web Summit, Slush) when the editorial team increases coverage. What to avoid ✗ Mass-mailed generic press releases, especially for non-European companies. ✗ Overly promotional, SEO-stuffed copy that reads like advertising but is not labelled as such. ✗ Embargo violations – EU-Startups routinely honours embargoes; breaking them hurts credibility. Other relevant details • Monthly traffic: ~300-350 k visits (SimilarWeb Aug 2023). 43 % direct, 29 % search, 12 % social (mainly LinkedIn & Twitter). • Social footprint: ~56 k Twitter/X followers, 23 k LinkedIn followers (Sept 2023). • Headquarters: Barcelona, Spain (remote team across Europe). • Language: English only.
