Build media lists on your phone
Medialyst now supports building media lists from your phone, alongside reliability improvements and a Fast Company case study from a cold pitch.
Hey there,
This week I landed a Fast Company feature + a follow from Y-Combinator CEO
Here's how it started - I sent a cold pitch to Mark Sullivan at FastCompany back in March. No reply.
Thirty days later, that pitch turned into a feature on Fast Company.
Then I turned that Fast Company feature into 250k views on X.
Then that turned into a follow from Garry Tan, Y-Combinator's CEO.
New: You can now build media lists on your phone.
Send it a message on your phone. Walk away. Come back to a finished list. No spreadsheets, no technical setup, no sitting at a desk.
Not to brag but as far as I know, we're the first platform to do this in a real way. The AI handles all the research, verification, and organization. You just describe what you need.
Try it next time you're in line for coffee.
Improvements: system-wide stability & reliability
This week we've been focusing entirely on hardening the platform. I won't bore you with the details (here if you want to see them)
These aren't shiny features. They're the foundation that makes everything else that's coming work reliably.
Coming next week: Database quality push
Our North Star hasn't changed: find all relevant journalists with accurate contact info in under 60 seconds.
Next week, we're focusing entirely on media database quality - location data, better coverage, more accurate emails, and faster enrichment.
We'll share what we ship.
