Press release scope and submission guidelines - Neurofounders maintains a press release feed to help readers stay up to date on concrete developments across neurotechnology. It is curated and intentionally selective, but the goal is to keep the submission process straightforward and predictable.

As a reference point for what Neurofounders covers, our Startup Map scope and inclusion criteria reflect the same boundaries. In general, we focus on companies building technologies that directly interface with, measure, or modulate the nervous system, as well as the tools and infrastructure that enable neurotechnology. If your company would reasonably fit the Startup Map categories, your press release is likely within scope too.

What press releases are accepted - We accept press releases that communicate a clear, material update, such as a funding round, product launch or meaningful product update, clinical or regulatory milestone, a substantive partnership, or corporate activity like an acquisition, merger, or spinout. We also accept leadership announcements when they are clearly relevant to a company’s technical, clinical, regulatory, or commercial direction.

The strongest submissions are specific and verifiable. If you reference studies, trials, or performance claims, include enough context to understand what was done and where readers can validate it.

What is typically not accepted - We usually do not publish general marketing announcements, brand campaigns, opinion pieces, advertorials, or partner announcements that do not include a concrete scope. Submissions that are primarily promotional, or that use neuroscience as a loose framing rather than an essential technical component, are generally not a fit for the feed.

Review and timing - We aim to review submissions on business days and publish as quickly as possible, but we do not guarantee same-day posting. If you want a release to go live on a specific date, submit it at least two business days in advance. If your release is under embargo, include the embargo time and time zone, and the exact public release time you want us to use.

What to include in your submission - A complete submission includes the company name, headline, location, date, and a public URL to the original announcement or newsroom page. It should also include the full press release body, a short “About” boilerplate, and press contact details so we can follow up if anything is unclear.

Assets and formats - Please include a company logo and one primary image that can be used as the header visual. A transparent PNG logo is preferred. For the primary image, JPG or PNG is fine, with a landscape orientation preferred and sufficient resolution to display cleanly. If you share additional product images, charts, or figures, only include items that add informational value and that you have permission to publish.

Editing policy - We may make light edits for clarity, formatting, and consistency, including minor copy edits, link cleanup, and standardizing titles and metadata. We will not intentionally change the meaning of your announcement or alter factual claims, funding amounts, study details, or attributed quotes. If something appears ambiguous or inconsistent, we may reach out using the press contact provided.

Copyright and image rights - By submitting, you confirm you have the rights to publish the text and any images provided, or permission from the rights holder. You also grant Neurofounders a non-exclusive right to display the submitted content and assets on the Neurofounders website and associated channels for the purpose of publishing the press release, with attribution where appropriate.

Sponsored distribution and partnerships - The press release feed is not a sponsored placement product and publication is not an endorsement. If you want guaranteed placement, broader distribution, or a sponsored package, contact partnerships@neurofounders.co.

Corrections and updates - If you need to correct something after posting, email partnerships@neurofounders.co and include the company name, release title, published URL, and the exact text you want corrected.
