A Forbes feature is one of the most powerful signals of credibility in business. Whether you’re a startup founder, CEO, professional, or investor, being interviewed on the Forbes global network positions you as a serious player.

For Startup Founders
A Forbes interview elevates your personal brand, strengthens your investor positioning, and helps build trust at every stage—from pre-seed to IPO. Whether you're fundraising, building partnerships, or hiring top talent, that Forbes feature gives you instant credibility when people search your name.
For Pre-IPO and Growth-Stage Companies
Your online presence matters more than ever. As potential investors, media outlets, or analysts look you up, seeing a professional Forbes feature in the search results reinforces your legitimacy and makes your company look investment-ready.

Cosmetic surgeons, investment advisors, consultants, real estate developers, agency founders—whatever your field, being interviewed by Forbes enhances your reputation, builds trust with clients, and sets your firm apart.
Strengthen Your Authority and Influence
A Forbes feature positions you as a trusted leader in your field. It signals to investors, partners, and clients that you’re not just building a business—you’re building something worth paying attention to.
Establish Immediate Trust & Credibility
When your audience sees “As Featured in Forbes,” it creates instant confidence. It frames your product or service as credible, proven, and worth choosing—often tipping the scales in your favor during key buying or investment decisions.
Instant Prestige and Differentiation
Most companies and professionals never make it into Forbes. You’ll stand out with the prestigious aura of a celebrity—someone who is famous, established, trusted, and endorsed by the biggest, most distinguished business magazine in the world.

Founded in 1917, Forbes is one of the most respected and influential business media brands in the world. With over a century of history, Forbes has become synonymous with authority in finance, entrepreneurship, innovation, lifestyle, technology, and leadership.
Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, the brand publishes a print magazine as well as in-depth online articles on business, investing, technology, marketing, science, politics, and more. Its signature motto—"Change the World"—reflects its global mission to spotlight visionaries shaping the future.
Today, Forbes has a global reach like no other:
27 licensed international editions in all major languages.
A readership in the hundreds of millions, spanning business leaders, investors, entrepreneurs, professionals, and high-net-worth individuals around the world
Renowned rankings and lists, including the Forbes 400, Forbes Billionaires List, 30 Under 30, and the Global 2000
For ambitious founders, professionals, and companies preparing for growth or IPO, a Forbes feature is a powerful asset—one that builds trust, commands respect, and enhances every part of your public image.
Here’s the reality:
You can pitch Forbes journalists and hope someone replies. (Most don’t.)
You can try joining the Contributor Network, but acceptance is not guaranteed, self-promotional content rarely gets accepted, and the editorial process is long, uncertain, and often requires advanced writing skills.
You can purchase a $75,000+ sponsored article or a $150,000 interview directly from Forbes.
You could try to bribe a contributor/journalist, like some companies do—but it’s a clear violation of Forbes’ Terms of Service. If discovered, your article and their entire account will be deleted. You'll lose the articles you paid for and bragged about (which looks bad to investors and clients). Plus, you might get bad press for violating their TOS. Some magazines write articles exposing rogue companies that bribe journalists and violate their TOS. Such articles could permanently taint your brand's image.
I work directly with an executive publisher at Forbes—a decision-maker at the top above editors, contributors, and journalists.
This allows me to facilitate legitimate, approved, high-quality interviews with select individuals on the official Forbes global network—no gray areas, no risk of deletion, no guessing games.
With my experience in writing, editing, and media placement, I ensure your story is compelling, polished, published, and positioned to make an impact—whether you're looking to build your personal brand, gain trust with clients, or impress investors.

Perfect for startup founders, C-level executives, entrepreneurs, VCs, coaches, authors, and professionals such as cosmetic surgeons, attorneys, wealth advisors, and more.

It positions you as a trusted authority in your field, elevating your personal brand.
Interview with Female Founders
I’ll write and publish a flattering article about your founder, leadership team, company, brand, business, or product.
Q: What’s the difference between this and an interview?
A: They're similar. Both are valuable, but this format gives your story an editorial edge. Instead of you speaking directly about your product or journey, the article is written about you—positioning Forbes as the voice highlighting your achievements and featuring your business.
This feels like an editorial endorsement rather than a self-promotion.
It can also be structured as a hybrid—part interview, part editorial feature. You can answer a few questions and share your story, while the majority of the article is crafted in Forbes’ voice, spotlighting your business from a third-party perspective.
Think of it as the kind of write-up you’d see in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 or their print magazine—an in-depth feature about an outstanding person or visionary. The article can focus entirely on you, your leadership, and personal journey, or mainly highlight the company/product you've built—or both.
Many founders choose to purchase both the interview and the editorial article for maximum credibility, visibility, and premium coverage.

✔️ Forbes.com (U.S. Edition)
If your goal is international visibility—especially with media outlets, investors, and business leaders—a news story on Forbes.com is a strong choice.
Keep in mind: this is not an interview, personal profile write-up, or endorsement-style feature. It’s a neutral-toned news announcement article—ideal for publicizing things like a product launch, funding round, new business service, a new CEO/exec, a company milestone, business expansion, awards or recognition, patent etc.
You’ll gain excellent bragging rights, brand visibility, and SEO value from being featured on one of the world’s top business sites.
Forbes.com
✔️ Forbes Israel
For tech companies, startups, VCs, development companies, and service providers in the startup/tech/AI ecosystem, Forbes Israel is a smart, strategic option.
Israel is a global tech powerhouse often called the “Silicon Valley of the Middle East.” Many of SV’s top startups were actually born in Israel, and it serves as the R&D hub for giants like Meta, Google, and Intel.
Getting featured in Forbes Israel puts you directly in front of the country’s top VCs, founders, and innovators. It’s the perfect platform if you want to stand out to potential investors, partners, and collaborators in the Israeli and global startup space.

Q: How long will my interview or article be published and live?
A: Permanent. It won't be removed.
Q: Is this real Forbes or just a random blog with the name?
A: This is the official licensed international edition of Forbes—Forbes Georgia (Forbes.ge/en/)—part of the global Forbes™ brand.
It’s a recognized, English-language division with a print magazine and an online edition, upholding Forbes' strictest, professional editorial standards.
The site looks and feels just like Forbes.com and ranks well on Google. You'll have the right to say "As Seen on Forbes" and use the globally recognized Forbes logo.
Q: Do you guarantee publication, or will you simply pitch it to someone?
A: Your interview, PR, or brand story is guaranteed to be published or you won't be charged a cent.
Q: Can my interview or brand feature be under NDA?
A: Yes, most of my clients request NDAs and complete privacy. All work can be under NDA & fully confidential.
Q: Can I choose the topic of my interview?
A: Absolutely. It’s your interview. I’ll send you a few questions to guide the article, and you can tell me what to emphasize—whether it’s your company, product, investment round, client results, or personal journey. After I write the draft, I'll present it to Forbes and revise it together with you if needed to meet their current content needs.
Q: Will it show up when people Google me?
A: Yes. The publications are all indexed.
I'll SEO-optimize your article to help it rank for your name, company, and product/service keywords. Forbes Georgia ranks well in search engines, and many of our clients see their article appear on the first page.
Q: Can I use it to get verified on social media or create a Wikipedia page?
A: While I can’t guarantee verification on social media or acceptance for a Wiki page, a Forbes interview can be used as a citation to support the Wikipedia notability requirement or in verification applications and significantly strengthens your credibility. It’s often used in press kits and as citations.
Q: Is it paid media or earned media?
It's paid media, but it looks like authentic content.
Q: How much does this cost?
A: A fraction of the minimum $75,000+ fee Forbes charges for 1 single article, or $150,000 for an interview.
No ongoing fees. No contracts. One-time payment, big lifetime value.
Q: Can I refer a friend or client?
A: Yes! Ask me about my referral program and earn for every successful referral.
Q: Can we resell your services under our agency?
A: Sure! Contact me to discuss partnership opportunities and my reseller program.
Q: Does my Forbes interview help with visas like EB-1A, O-1, Green Card, or Global Talent?
A: Yes, many applicants include Forbes features as part of their supporting evidence when applying for visas like the EB-1A, O-1, Global Talent, or even Green Card categories. A professionally published Forbes interview can serve as strong third-party recognition of your expertise, achievements, and impact in your field. While we don’t provide legal advice or immigration services, clients often use media coverage like this to demonstrate national or international acclaim, satisfy "published material about the individual" requirements, and strengthen their overall petition. Always consult with an immigration attorney to confirm how best to use your media credentials in your specific case.
