Funding announcement checklist

- Use of funds: what the money will build: hires, markets, product
- Traction: the numbers that explain why investors backed you
- Quotes: one from the founder and one from the lead investor
- Timing: publish after closing, on a date agreed with investors
- Boilerplate: a short company description and press contact

Funding announcement questions.
When should we publish a funding announcement?
After the round has closed and your investors have agreed the wording and the date. Many startups pick a weekday morning and coordinate timing with their lead investor.
Can we name our investors?
Yes, with their permission. Lead investors usually provide a quote, which makes the announcement stronger.
Which package suits a Series A announcement?
Founders who want investor-facing reach usually choose Investor Prime for London Stock Exchange Group distribution and Bloomberg, Dow Jones and Nasdaq terminals. Market Titan suits rounds where Forbes or Reuters credibility matters most.
Can we keep the amount we raised private?
Yes. Many startups announce a round without the amount. The story can focus on the investors, what the money is for and the milestones it unlocks.
