FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Logistics AI Startup Raises $9M Series A to Eliminate Carrier Invoice Errors
Round led by Accel; capital deployed toward engineering and enterprise sales expansion across North America

SAN FRANCISCO, May 24, 2026 — FreightAudit, an AI-powered freight invoice reconciliation platform, today announced an $9 million Series A led by Accel Partners. The company will use the capital to expand its engineering team and accelerate enterprise sales across North America, where it currently serves 43 3PL operators.
Headline under 80 characters. Lead answers Who, What, When, Where, Why in three sentences. Copy-pasteable by a journalist on deadline.
Executive Quote
Adds opinion — not a repeat of the facts above.
"Freight reconciliation has been a manual process for 40 years because the data was never structured enough to automate. That changed in 2024. Carriers now expose machine-readable invoice data, and we built the layer that turns it into recovered revenue — automatically."

said Maya Chen, CEO, FreightAudit.
Quote adds a market insight that can't appear in the factual body. Avoids "thrilled", "excited", and "proud" — the instant-delete triggers.
Pitch Email
Personalised pitch — sent 2–4 hours after wire broadcast.
Subject: freight reconciliation startup raises $9M — 43 enterprise customers

Hi Kirsten,

Given your coverage of Series A rounds in enterprise logistics software — your piece on Flexport's expansion last month — I thought this might be relevant for your beat.

Opens with the journalist's specific beat. One-sentence news summary. Two audience-relevant facts. No "I hope this finds you well."

How it works

How does PR Press Release work?

  1. Tell Claude what you need — the skill asks 2-3 narrowing questions specific to the task.
  2. The skill runs live research and structures the output before writing a single word.
  3. An anti-slop quality gate checks the draft, then delivers a ready-to-use result for $9.

Not what this is for
✕Crisis communications — reactive PR requires a different approach and legal review.
✕Consumer lifestyle PR — this is optimised for business and trade press, not entertainment or fashion media.
✕Full PR campaign strategy — this skill writes the anchor release and pitch, not a multi-month campaign brief.

The complete guide to press release writing covers what makes a release editors read versus one they skip.

"First press release I've sent where TechCrunch actually replied within the hour. The pitch email opened with a reference to a story they'd written the week before — that's the detail that got the response."

Quick answers

Do I need a paid Claude account for PR Press Release?

No. The free Claude plan is enough to get started and see the skill working. A Pro plan unlocks longer outputs.

How do I install the PR Press Release skill?

Download the .skill file, open Claude, go to Customize → Skills → Upload a skill, and drop the file in. It appears in your slash-command list immediately.

Can I edit or customise the output after I receive it?

Yes. The output is plain text you own and can edit freely. Most users tweak specific details or the call-to-action to fit their exact use case before sending or publishing.

How specific do my inputs need to be to get a good result?

The more specific your input, the more precise the output. The skill asks targeted questions to gather context — answering these in detail produces noticeably better results than generic one-line inputs.
