Startup founders: reach out to journalists and reporters

As a startup founder bootstrapping my own site, I found a service called Cision.com that provide media contacts (journalists, freelance writers, etc.) This database is used by lots of PR firms and media people to find out who's who. But the price is steep, about $2,500 for the package. What you get is a whole list of detailed contacts infos (phone number included) of all journalists who's writing about your vertical.

So being an entrepreneur myself, my idea is to split the cost with someone else, ideally 4 or 5 other startups to lower the cost (but more is better). If we get a group of 5 or more, our average cost will be lowered substantially.

So if you're looking for journalists to reach out to them, this is it (or you'll have to spend countless hours going through Twitter and LinkedIn). I had a demo with them and a bunch of screenshots as well. Ping me if you want to see.
