Where Do I Find Independent Journalists Interested in Massachusetts Corruption?

I have quite a bit of information on localized Massachusetts public corruption. Where would I find independent journalists who may be interested in the information that I have? Please do not suggest local mainstream media.

What's more exciting to investors?

I've been building cross platform third party monetization software for live streamers at polarace.com . We have 2 months left of development work. I believe in what we are developing and that it will generate generous profits. Is it more exciting to investors to go after Twitch directly or develop an AI model based off of our data? Should I be pitching higher ideas ? Thanks for your opinions.

Seeking a Mentor to help my team and I with our pitch deck and Reach Investors

The subreddit says no advertising so I won't post it here. My pre-seed startup has a live product and a pitch deck. I would be grateful for some feedback on how to present this and reach investors. We need 30k to finish our product by our early July timeline.

I'm looking for a Front End Developer, preferably someone with some experience with Mobile apps as well. Looking for someone to commit to this project for at least the next 3-6 months at least part time. No pay until we raise, sweat equity.

We have a large but advanced pre-seed team. We are building products for live streamers. polarace.com

Backend is functioning and working and we are racing ahead. No firms please.

We are live right now with increasing users but still very small. We are building a cross platform third party monetization layer on top of twitch, youtube, instagram, kick, etc live streams. Basically, a streamer will provide a link and fans can click and donate to stream live into a twitch, youtube, etc live stream.

Our deck:

We are seeking 60k to finish our products, do beta testing and light marketing, and proceed to the rest of our pre-seed round.

600k gives us a 12 month runway and full marketing launch but with bare bones staff and budget.

2 million gives us an 18 month runway, long term data and server infrastructure, serious influencer marketing with our GTM strategy.

We are building third party software for live streamers. Right now your fans can donate to you to send a gif/image into your live stream via an OBS extension. We are 6-8 weeks away from offering live video. Imagine your fans donate to you to go live into your live stream. Or you are bored and get a random person to stream live into your live stream! We use AI to moderate the fans!

Currently seeking an early angel investment of 60k to finish the product and complete our larger pre-seed raise.

Feel free to DM!

I'm leading a large pre seed team of mostly Master Degree students or recently graduated Master's degree holders. There are 8 of us and we are building a monetization platform for live streamers. Looking for a mentor in the creator economy, raising money, running a startup space. We do have a live product. I appreciate any help, direction, time that someone is willing to give me.

Polar Ace is making an OBS extension to allow fans to donate to you to stream live into your Twitch, YouTube, etc live stream via an OBS extension! Here is the demo for it:

https://www.loom.com/share/89977ebd20b042c08f5a62cc1faaadd0

We didn't add the UI yet, we are probably 3 weeks away from launching this or so.

on polarace.com you can current have your fans donate to you to send a gif/image into your live stream, which connects to your OBS via a browser source. But we are building something much stronger for live video! Our idea is for fans to stream live to our backend server and then we send the live video to an obs extension and enter your stream as a native video source.
