About

We're building the editorial control plane for the open web.

WordPress runs 43% of the internet — and the operators behind those sites still patch their workflows together with Slack, Docs, and willpower. We're here to change that.

Our story

We started Pressroom after running content operations at a publisher with 80+ WordPress sites. The work was mostly heroics: spreadsheets to track what was scheduled, Loom videos to explain how to publish, and a Slack channel that never slept.

Every "AI writing tool" we tried solved 5% of the problem. The other 95% — the workflow that connects strategy, drafting, review, scheduling, governance, and audit — was ignored. So we built it.

Pressroom is for editorial teams who care about the open web, take their craft seriously, and would rather ship great content than fight their tools.

Values

What we believe.

01

Editorial first

We build for the people who actually write, edit, and ship — not just the people who buy software.

02

Open web by default

We bet on WordPress, RSS, and standards. No lock-in, no proprietary CMS, no vendor moat.

03

Calm by design

Editorial work is hard enough. Our product earns its place by removing tabs, not adding them.

04

Operator owned

We're a small, profitable team. We answer to customers, not to a growth metric in someone else's deck.

Operators, not growth-hackers.
