About Hey Press

Hey Press was a pioneering platform in the journalist discovery space, helping PR professionals and startups connect with relevant tech journalists through an innovative searchable database.

Our Legacy

Originally founded by Ed and Harry, Hey Press revolutionized how companies approached media outreach. The platform featured a comprehensive database of tech journalists, complete with their article history, contact information, and specialization areas. Users could simply enter keywords like "bitcoin" or "artificial intelligence" to discover the most relevant journalists covering those topics.

The founders understood the pain points of PR research firsthand. Having successfully secured media coverage for their own ventures, they recognized that finding the right journalists was often the most time-consuming part of any PR campaign. Hey Press was born from this insight, designed to save precious hours of manual research.

The Evolution

Today, Hey Press has evolved and merged with JournoFinder, a more comprehensive platform that builds upon the original vision while offering enhanced features and broader coverage. This transition represents the natural progression of journalist discovery tools, combining the best of both platforms to serve the modern PR landscape.

Impact & Recognition

Throughout its journey, Hey Press served thousands of users and helped facilitate countless successful media relationships. The platform's impact on the PR industry was recognized by leading publications and continues to influence how journalist discovery tools are developed today.
