TIA Singapore founders meetup: How to pitch to the media
Hola! Here’s introducing the Tech in Asia (TIA) founders meetup, a cosy night of meaningful conversations exclusively for startup founders. This is the first of a series of sessions that aim to address the tough problems you encounter as a founder, hopefully leaving you with insightful takeaways and actionable solutions.
For our inaugural meetup, we’re going to help you understand how tech journalists work, specifically those from the TIA editorial team, and share some guidelines on how you can pitch to them.

Terence Lee, TIA’s Managing Editor, will share about the media landscape, how the TIA editorial team operates and tips on how you should work with the media to get your startup covered.
