ABOUT THE TOPIC
Getting featured in the press poses many challenges for tech startups and scaleups: they are still unknown to many journalists, they struggle to find newsworthy events, and have little brand recognition. This becomes even more difficult when you have to deal with the press, considering that journalists receive hundreds of press releases each day.
Despite the challenges, to get leads, getting featured in the press is of crucial importance at this stage. It can help get your name out there and be recognized by a wider public. You may also attract new investors and partners without having to chase them, and your media exposure can help you attract more talent and leads
Many startups and scaleups desire to get featured in the press, but they simply do not know how. Who to reach out to and how to send a press release? Where to find contacts and which tone of voice to use? How to draft a compelling press pitch? The way you reach out to press greatly differs per industry, and the tech field requires a unique approach.
In this session, we will share top tools, tips and tricks on how to get your company featured in the press through low-budget techniques from a PR expert with years of experience in the global startup and tech scene.

Techdenkers: de toekomst van onze creativiteit
De Balie presenteert het volgende event bij het Adyen hoofdkantoor op het Rokin.
Qua thema en ervaring past het precies bij de vragen die we binnen KULA hebben, de dingen die we willen leren. Laten we hier samen heen gaan. Meld je van te voren aan via de app - dan reserveren we een kaartje voor je.
We leven in een tijd waarin AI steeds intelligenter wordt en zichzelf kan verbeteren zonder tussenkomst van de mens. Dit geldt ook voor het genereren van unieke tekst en beelden, zoals te zien is in programma’s als ChatGPT en DALL-E. Hierdoor rijzen interessante vragen over de toekomst van creativiteit. Zullen computers binnenkort de literaire klassiekers van de toekomst schrijven?

KULA x IDFA DOCU; Free Money @ Tuschinski Theater
KULA invites you to come to the movies together. A Documentary called “Free Money”.
ABOUT THE DOCUMENTATRY.
When universal basic income (UBI) comes to the Kenyan village of Kogutu, lives are forever changed. GiveDirectly, one of the fastest growing nonprofits of the 21st century, is sending free money for twelve years as part of the world's largest UBI experiment. Filmmakers Lauren DeFilippo and Sam Soko juxtapose the story of these young economists, bankrolled by Silicon Valley and convinced that they have found an infallible algorithm to end world poverty, with portraits of local Kenyans whose lives are being dramatically impacted for better and for worse. UBI is at the forefront of political debate like never before, thanks to Andrew Yang's presidential candidacy, covid stimulus packages, and trials underway around the world. This documentary is a fascinating case study of life in a village-turned-petri-dish from the perspective of those living out this revolutionary idea.
WHY?
Stories are a beautiful way to start discussions, change our perceptions, and take us out of our sometimes ridged ways of thinking. We came across the partnership manager of IDFA and she shared a curated selection with us. This documentary feels like a topic that brings our innovative ways of thinking for a better, more inclusive world alive something that is in line with KULA’s values.
