MAKE NEWS. RAISE CAPITAL.

News Capital noun

Strategic credibility built through earned media—designed to compound trust, accelerate fundraising, and reprice risk.


News Capital

Credibility you can’t buy — only earn.

News capital is the accumulated credibility that comes from being covered by trusted media — at the right moment, with the right narrative.

It’s what investors reference when they Google you before a meeting. It’s what turns a cold pitch into a warm conversation. And it compounds — long after the headline fades.

Most founders know press matters. What they don’t have is a newsroom mindset — the ability to turn strategy, traction, and timing into something journalists (and investors) actually care about.

StoryCraft helps founders and funds develop the story behind the company — then translate it into earned media that builds news capital when credibility determines outcomes.
