Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- This is a curated newsletter, not a directory — there is no product submission form
- Only verified submission surface is paid sponsorship (form or email on /sponsorship)
- Organic inclusion is editorial: the editor hand-picks articles on engineering management, industry news, trends, and guides — a product launch alone is not the format; a strong engineering-leadership article is
Prepare before opening the form
- For sponsorship: name, email, and the message/creative to run in an issue
- For editorial coverage: a genuinely strong blog post on engineering management/leadership — the newsletter summarizes articles, so the article (not the product) is the pitch unit
- Contact: the sponsorship page's form or the listed email address
Workflow
- Paid: open https://pointer.io/sponsorship, complete the enquiry form or email the address listed
- Editorial: publish a high-quality engineering-management article and make it discoverable — the editor curates from public writing; you may email the contact address to flag it, but no pitch form exists
- Sponsorship delivers an 'integrated message' slot in an issue
Watch for
- No launch listing exists — do not treat as a directory
- Audience is senior engineering leadership at companies like Google, Stripe, AWS — consumer/growth pitches are a mismatch
- Anti-spam protection on forms (Cloudflare email obfuscation) — use the rendered page, not scraped text
- Sponsorship pricing is not published — enquire
What counts as live
Your sponsored message or article appears in a sent Pointer issue (newsletter archive/email)
Not verified
- Sponsorship pricing and slot availability
- Whether the editor accepts pitched articles proactively
