Around PR Studio

Have you ever thought that pitching your startup could become part of a Guinness World Records attempt?

On September 17–18, Startup Summit Lisbon will officially attempt to set a Guinness World Records title with a 48-hour nonstop startup pitch marathon, bringing together almost 1,000 founders from around the world 🌍

As partners of this event, we’re proud to help bring this news to the global media and startup community!

The announcement has already been featured in business and startup media, including Portugal Global, Essential Business, Portugal Business News, Startup Kitchen, and others.

We’re also excited to share that our Co-Founder & CEO, Вячеслав Смирнов, will join the event as a speaker, sharing his experience and insights on stage!

See you in Lisbon 🇵🇹

PR managers don’t need compliments. Except when they’re from a Forbes journalist. 🤝

🚀 Another funding announcement successfully launched.

This week in partnership with I2BF, we helped Klinic announce its $24M Seed + Series A funding round. It’s always rewarding to watch a story gain momentum after it goes live.

A special thank you to for covering the story.

At Around PR Studio, announcing funding rounds is one of our favorite things to do.Whether it’s a $500K pre-seed, a $24M Series A, or a much larger raise, every funding announcement is an opportunity to build credibility, attract customers and partners, strengthen investor confidence, and create momentum that lasts far beyond a single press release.

If you’re preparing to announce your next round, we’d love to help make sure it reaches the people who matter most.

Summer is here, and while a lot of founders (and journalists!) are taking a well-earned break, we’re still telling great stories.
