Important Contacts: 27 Journalists Founders Should Know in 2026
The communications agency PIABO and the portal deutsche-startups.de have published a new list. It features 27 journalists who are particularly important for the startup scene in 2026. This list helps founders find the right media contacts for their companies.
For young companies, it is often difficult to gain media attention. However, good cooperation with the press can be decisive for a startup's success. The list introduces experts who regularly report on new business ideas, modern technology, and significant investments.
The selection of journalists is based on their experience and influence in the industry. The individuals featured work for various media outlets, ranging from major daily newspapers to specialized online magazines. They monitor the market closely and know which trends will become important for the economy in the future.
Founders can use this information to better plan their own press relations. If they know which journalist is interested in their specific topic, they can make contact more purposefully. This saves time and increases the chances of their company being reported on.
The collaboration between PIABO and deutsche-startups.de has been taking place regularly for several years. In the future, it will remain important to build bridges between young companies and the media. The current list for 2026 is a useful tool for everyone who wants to grow in the German startup world.
