Tell HN: I'm going to be on TV & want to wear your company's swag.

Hey, this is my first post here. I've been a reader for a few months now and I want to give back to this great community...

I'm a part of a new reality TV show and I want to give some of my fellow founders some exposure. The only details that I can provide right now are: the show is based in Las Vegas, involves a family business (not my family), and will air on Lifetime if it gets picked up by the network.

Interested? All you have to do is... 1) Sign up for early access to my startup @ www.sponsi.com 2) Invite 5 of your friends using your unique link. 3) Send me a message telling me about your company/available swag, why you need the exposure (I'm most likely to pick people based on this answer), and what your biggest complaint/frustration about online travel is (my startup is about travel exploration.)

Airtime is not guaranteed, but I will do my absolute best. The good news is, my co-founder is a big part of the show. She prefers to rock pens, coffee mugs, and calendars over t-shirts. I'm all about the t-shirts though (and anything else you want to send me!)

Please keep in mind that I'm not making any promises. If nothing else, you'll at least have 2 new cheerleaders for your startup – me and my co-founder! :)

Swag could include: t-shirts, hats, pens, coffee mugs, calendars, stickers etc. No fluorescent colors, thanks!

I'm happy to answer any questions!

(Looks cool, BTW :-))

Thanks! :)
FYI. The contact link in the footer of homepage should have a "mailto:" before it.
Thanks. Silly mistake. :)
They typically blur out logos on these shows, don't they?
Yes and no. I believe it all depends on the network/company. For an example, they asked my co-worker to cover up the Nike logo on his t-shirt. They had no problem with my hoodie though, which had a visible Hollister logo.

If it does turn out to be a problem, I can just send the participating founders a release form to sign.
