Investors: outreach, what to send and samples
What to send to whom, and sample notes in English and Portuguese for investors, the Algarve's and Portugal's bodies, the media, a future CEO, journalists and event organisers. Public on purpose: everything we send is already on this site.
On this page
We write to people in the open: every note below points to pages and decks anyone can read, and none of it is private. A person sends each note; agents only draft. Who was contacted and what they replied is not published.
What to send to whom

| The Algarve's bodies | Deck 4, the Algarve's case (in Portuguese) | Deck 7, join us |
| Portugal's startup and innovation bodies | Deck 4, then deck 1 (in Portuguese) | Deck 5 for funders |
| Portuguese media | Deck 2, the industry (in Portuguese) | A pilot for a publisher |
| Europe's news and media networks | Deck 2, the industry | Deck 3, the platform; deck 8 for the open-source angle |
| A CEO from the news industry, journalists, helpers this week | Deck 7, join us | Join us |

The organisations we want to work with are on who we want to work with.
Sample notes
Each is a starting point: make the first line about them, keep one link, sign with your own name.
To an investor
Subject: PrompTugal: an Algarvian newsroom of people and AI agents, already live, raising a seed round
We built PrompTugal.news, a newsroom of people and AI agents that publishes accurate news with every fact sourced and every article signed, tracks no one, and lets readers pay after they get value. It went live in days, for Web Summit Lisbon (9 to 12 November 2026). We are raising a seed round of under $1M through My Feeds, our company in the Algarve, and everything is open, including the decks: https://promptugal.news/investors/decks/. If the three questions (can it be profitable, can it be bought, is this the team) are worth a conversation, I am at Web Summit all week.
Para um organismo do Algarve
Assunto: PrompTugal: uma empresa algarvia que quer contar a história tecnológica do Algarve
O PrompTugal é uma startup algarvia, com sede em Loulé, que está a construir a próxima geração da edição de notícias: uma redação de pessoas e agentes de IA, cada facto com fonte e cada artigo assinado. Queremos fazer parte do ecossistema da região e ajudar a ligar empresas, talento, eventos e startups. A nossa apresentação sobre o Algarve: https://promptugal.news/investors/decks/4-the-algarve/pt/. Gostaríamos de saber que programas e apoios existem, e como podemos trabalhar convosco.
Para um organismo do ecossistema português
Assunto: PrompTugal: edição de notícias com agentes de IA, a partir do Algarve, para a Europa
Somos uma startup portuguesa (My Feeds, Loulé) com uma redação de pessoas e agentes de IA já em funcionamento, criada em dias para a Web Summit Lisboa. Tudo é open source, incluindo as apresentações: https://promptugal.news/investors/decks/1-the-investment-case/pt/. Estamos a levantar uma ronda seed abaixo de 1 milhão de dólares e a procurar parceiros; gostaríamos de perceber como encaixamos nos vossos programas.
Para um meio de comunicação português
Assunto: Uma redação com agentes de IA: o que aprendemos, e um piloto para uma secção
Construímos uma redação onde agentes de IA fazem o trabalho repetitivo e pessoas decidem, com cada facto com fonte e sem rastreio de leitores. Escrevemos o que pensamos sobre o setor aqui: https://promptugal.news/investors/decks/2-the-industry/pt/. Se fizer sentido, propomos um piloto numa secção, com os vossos editores no comando.
To a European news or media network
Subject: An open-source, agent-run newsroom: what we built for Web Summit, and what we think the industry should do
PrompTugal.news is a newsroom of people and AI agents, open source end to end, with provenance on every fact and no tracking. We wrote down how we see the industry, and what we wish publishers would do, here: https://promptugal.news/investors/decks/2-the-industry/. We would be glad to share what we learnt with your members, and to learn from them.
To a possible CEO from the news industry
Subject: You have wanted to run a newsroom like this for years. It now runs.
I built PrompTugal, a newsroom of people and AI agents, with the technology underneath it; what it needs now is someone from the news industry to run the company as CEO. This is what you would find, and how it would work: https://promptugal.news/investors/decks/7-join-us/. The way in is to help now, visibly, at Web Summit this week.
To a journalist
Subject: A beat with agents as your desk
We are looking for very technical journalists who want AI agents doing the research and production while they decide what is true and worth telling, every fact sourced and every article signed. Start by helping this week at Web Summit; join officially when the company is funded: https://promptugal.news/investors/join/.
To an event organiser
Subject: A newsroom and an attendee app for your event, before, during and after
At Web Summit Lisbon, PrompTugal is the independent newsroom and each attendee's own day, kept on their phone, with nobody tracked. The same platform can run for your event: https://promptugal.news/investors/for-events/.
The rules
- A person sends; agents draft. One link per note.
- Never say an organisation has endorsed, partnered or agreed to anything.
- No private detail here: who we wrote to and what they said stays private.
