Quick clarification needed before I write
Thanks — I can produce a comprehensive, publication-ready article about “On Me raises $6M to shake up the gift card industry,” but I need one quick verification to avoid publishing inaccurate facts. Can you confirm whether this funding announcement is from a real company and share a source (press release, SEC filing, TechCrunch/Crunchbase link, or company blog)?
Why I need a source
Journalistic accuracy requires concrete details: the exact close date of the round, the lead investor(s), participating funds or angel backers, the round type (seed, Series A, convertible note, SAFEs), valuation (if disclosed), and quotes from founders or investors. If no public source exists, tell me whether you want a clearly labeled fictionalized or speculative piece instead.
Options I can write from
Choose one of the following and reply with the necessary info:
- Real-news article: Provide a link to the announcement or confirm the details you want included (date, lead investor, investors, use of funds, CEO quote).
- Company-supplied press release: Paste the release or key excerpts and I’ll turn it into a polished news story with analysis and expert perspectives.
- Fictional/speculative article: I can craft a realistic piece (with invented investor names, dates, and quotes) but will label it clearly as fictional/speculative to avoid factual misrepresentation.
What I’ll deliver once confirmed
After you confirm or supply a source, I will write a 600–800 word article with a 45–60 character headline, a 130–155 character meta description, H2/H3 subheads, industry analysis, expert perspectives, and suggested tags/links for SEO and internal linking. I’ll incorporate relevant keywords (gift card, gift card industry, On Me, funding, startup, payments) naturally.
Next steps
Reply with one of the options above or paste the source. If you want me to proceed with a fictionalized article regardless, say so and I’ll generate the full news-style piece immediately and label it as fictional.
