Your biggest moments deserve more than a wire hit.

Here's what's really broken

They push one story instead of tailoring to each ICP

Same news, different audiences. Investors, customers, and analysts need different, custom framing. Traditional agencies send the same line to everyone, killing relevance, credibility, and failing to maximize a major moment to its greatest ability.

They don’t amplify the right messages

Traditional teams treat the announcement like a single story, instead of a multi-layer narrative that reinforces your positioning. As a result, the most strategically important messages (beyond “the news”) never land with reporters, analysts, or investors.

They don’t leverage the moment as a catalyst for ongoing coverage

A major milestone should unlock new angles, deeper features, and sustained interest. Most agencies fail to build a follow-on strategy, so the announcement spikes and dies within 24 hours.

Inexperience with sensitive IPO, M&A, and financial protocols

High-stakes events demand precision and compliance. Many agencies overlook regulatory guardrails, legal sequences, and pre-brief protocols creating unnecessary risk for your leadership, legal, and IR teams.

They fail to coordinate efficiently across all partners

Major announcements involve multiple teams (VCs, PE firms, acquiring companies, legal counsel, bankers). Agencies filled with junior players may struggle to manage alignment, causing inconsistent messaging and delays that weaken the story.

How we orchestrate high-stakes moments

Narrative architecture, not just a press release

We build the full storyline behind the announcement - core angles, strategic messages, ICP-specific versions, and a sequencing plan - so the moment lands with clarity and power across every audience.

Enterprise-grade coordination across all stakeholders

We align leadership, legal, IR, product, and external partners like VCs, PE firms, and acquiring companies. You get one airtight narrative and a smooth approval process—no chaos, no crossed wires.

Full executive + spokesperson prep

We prepare leaders for every angle. Tough questions, market skepticism, competitive responses, financial scrutiny, you name it. Your executives enter interviews confident, consistent, and completely on-message.

Amplification that extends the moment

We transform the announcement into sustained visibility: follow-on stories, analyst outreach, social amplification, founder POVs, leadership content, and LLM-ready messaging. Your milestone becomes momentum, not a 24-hour spike.

Internal comms that reduce friction and build alignment

Major announcements hit employees, too. We craft internal messaging, talking points, and rollout plans to reduce confusion and friction—so teams stay confident and aligned. Your workforce hears the right story at the right time, supporting momentum instead of disrupting it.

We built The Colab because we saw how broken the agency model is. This isn't better execution. It's a fundamentally different model.

Results That Actually Matter

We focus on impactful links, enhanced executive visibility, and strong LLM rankings that drive results.

What does your process look like for high-stakes announcements?

We build a full narrative architecture (core messages, ICP-specific versions, angles for reporters, analysts, investors, and employees), then run a disciplined sequence: coordinating partner approvals, preparing executives, mapping timing, pre-briefing under embargo, and ensuring legal/IR alignment. Every detail is handled - from risk scenarios to social amplification - so your announcement lands cleanly and confidently.

How early do we need to bring you in?

Ideally 4–8 weeks before the announcement - earlier for IPO preparation or complex M&A - so we can build the narrative, map stakeholders, run disciplined pre-briefs, prep spokespeople, and manage approvals. If timing is compressed, we can still move fast, but more lead time always results in a tighter story, stronger coverage, and fewer surprises. We need a minimum of two weeks of pitching time once the press release is approved for best results.

How do you ensure the story stays consistent across all stakeholders?

We act as the central hub: aligning leadership, legal, IR, product, and external partners (VCs, PE firms, banks, acquirers). We build a unified message house, manage approvals, and run a structured roll-out so every audience - reporters, investors, analysts, customers, and employees - hears a consistent, accurate story.

Do you have experience supporting IPOs?

Yes. Our team has worked on multiple high-profile IPOs and understands the legal, regulatory, and narrative precision required. We bring senior operators who know how to manage pre-briefs, filings, IR alignment, analyst messaging, and internal rollout - without leakage, chaos, or costly missteps. This isn’t new ground for us. We know the complexities, and we know how to navigate them cleanly.

What types of funding announcements do you support?

We specialize in post-Series A companies moving into meaningful growth phases - Series B and beyond - or companies that are exceeding typical round sizes in key verticals, like AI. Our team supports major rounds, strategic raises, secondary transactions, debt financing, and late-stage capital events that require disciplined messaging, embargo execution, and high-tier press attention. If the moment is material, we know how to make it land.
