We match Series A–B startups in web3, iGaming and fintech with the right media, KOLs and agencies across UAE, EU and US — in 3–5 days, instead of 4–8 weeks of cold pitching. Free for startups; media and agencies pay us.
You just closed a round. You hired a head of marketing. Now your inbox is on fire and there's no clean way to tell who actually works in your vertical.
Founder spends the first month after the raise reading agency decks, not building.
Generic outreach that ignores your vertical, your stage and your jurisdiction.
Inflated metrics, recycled case studies, KOLs whose audience converts in zero verticals.
We dig into your goal, your market, your budget and the constraints — regulatory, jurisdictional, brand-safety.
Filtered for vertical, geo, stage fit, and audience truth. We pre-quote price ranges so you're not negotiating blind.
Not a directory link. A real email from a person who has already briefed the partner on your situation.
We're not an agency, not a PR house, not a freelancer marketplace. We earn from the media side, so our incentive is matching what actually fits — not selling our own retainer.

Figures are typical market ranges across UAE · EU · US for the use cases we cover. Your mileage will vary.
If you sell horizontal B2B SaaS or DTC, we're the wrong people. We refuse those briefs on the call.
L1/L2 chains, infra, DeFi, NFT, consumer crypto. We know which CT accounts convert and which inflate the dashboard.
Operators, aggregators, providers in licensed markets. We know the affiliate networks, the conferences and the compliance landmines.
Payments, neobanks, brokers, B2B infra. We know which trade press converts decision-makers and which is window dressing.
Names are under NDA until the intro is warm. The shape of the pool isn't.
Numbers are rounded to the nearest figure that's honest. We'd rather quote a smaller pool that ships than a bigger pool that doesn't.
We started running real briefs in 2025. We'd rather show you a real case study in a quarter than a fabricated one today.
Series-A web3 client briefed a regional KOL campaign. We shortlisted 4 operators across CT and Telegram, pre-quoted, and made warm intros. Case study with permitted figures coming Q3.
If yours isn't here, ask on the call. We'd rather answer once, in person, than write a paragraph that hedges.
30 minutes on a call, 3–5 vetted partners back, warm intro by day five. No retainer, no setup fee, no obligation.
