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 an editorial tech publication, not a directory — the only free route is a news tip/PR pitch to [email protected]
  • Coverage focuses on AI, software, hardware, semiconductors, emerging tech — with a Start-ups topic
  • Effective pitches per their own guidance: genuinely newsworthy developments, embargo/exclusive where relevant, access to engineers/researchers not just spokespeople, supporting docs/data/benchmarks
  • No guarantee of coverage; editorial independence is explicit ('We don't accept off-the-record commercial pitches dressed up as feedback')

Prepare before opening the form

  • A genuinely newsworthy angle — a plain 'we launched a SaaS' pitch is weak; funding, technical novelty, or data is stronger
  • Supporting documentation/benchmarks for claims
  • Contact info for verification; state confidentiality needs upfront if any

Workflow

  1. Email [email protected] with the pitch (or [email protected] for coverage suggestions)
  2. Expect review of every tip but a reply only for promising ones, usually within 3–5 business days
  3. If covered, the story appears in the relevant topic feed (e.g., Start-ups, Web Tools) with a dated article permalink

Watch for

  • Contact emails live on a different domain — newsdefused.com — not whatsnewonthenet.com
  • This is a small operation (publisher Jamie Ashcroft, Creamery Media Ltd); 'We can't guarantee coverage of pitches or tips'
  • No submission form, no listing page, no paid-placement mention — advertising is handled by [email protected] and kept separate from editorial
  • Batch's /conti URL is dead — nothing else on the domain accepts submissions

What counts as live

A dated article about the product/company appears on whatsnewonthenet.com under a topic feed (e.g., Start-ups) with its own permalink

Not verified

  • Actual pickup rate for cold PR pitches
  • Whether articles link out with followed links
  • Advertising/sponsorship rates
