Startups and Business - Write for Us

Send your pitch to guest@webzodiac.com

Every successful business starts with an experiment — a pricing tweak, a hiring decision, a pivot that changed everything. At Web Zodiac, we’re interested in those experiments.

This page is for founders, consultants, and strategists who’ve built, scaled, or survived in the trenches of business and startups. If you have a story or framework that can help someone make smarter decisions, you’re exactly the kind of contributor we’re looking for.

Why Write for Web Zodiac

Web Zodiac is more than a marketing publication — it’s a collective of people who think about growth, systems, and leadership the way you do.

By contributing, you:

  • Reach decision-makers. Our readers include startup founders, CMOs, operations leads, and investors who seek clarity, not clichés.

  • Earn a quality backlink. Each contributor receives a contextual link in their bio — ideal for authority building.

  • Establish credibility. Publish alongside professionals known for data-backed insights.

  • Give back. Your experience may save another founder from repeating the same mistake.

  • Join a curated ecosystem. Every article is reviewed and refined to ensure quality and long-term relevance.

We don’t post motivational fluff or “10 Steps to Success.” We publish frameworks, numbers, and lessons that matter.

Who Can Contribute

We welcome anyone who’s done the work — whether you’ve bootstrapped a SaaS, managed operations in a fast-growing agency, or led marketing in a funded startup.

You might be:

  • A founder who’s scaled from concept to product-market fit.

  • A consultant advising small teams on systems and process.

  • A business strategist obsessed with models, pricing, or positioning.

  • A growth lead balancing marketing budgets and acquisition cost.

  • A people-ops leader building culture in distributed teams.

  • A finance-driven entrepreneur optimizing cash flow and runway.

If you can connect experience to evidence — we want your insight.

3. Startup Growth & Funding

  • Achieving product-market fit and early traction.

  • Navigating investor relations or fundraising rounds.

  • Bootstrapping vs. venture capital trade-offs.

  • Sales enablement, pipelines, and CRM automation.

  • Building predictable revenue systems in early-stage startups.

5. Process & Productivity
