How to Get on HackerNoon: A Guide for Tech Companies and Founders
HackerNoon is a technology publishing platform where engineers, founders and tech professionals publish stories that are reviewed by human editors. Here's how to get published there, and what makes a story get accepted.
Short answer: anyone can submit a story to HackerNoon. You create an account, write in its editor, add a title, image, TL;DR and tags, disclose any company interests, and submit it for review. A human editor reviews every submission, usually within a few business days, and not every story is accepted. Original technical insight and real data get accepted; thin promotion doesn't.
The ways onto HackerNoon
| Route | How it works | Credibility with investors and buyers |
|---|---|---|
| Write and submit your own story | Publish under your name or your executive's; a human editor reviews and may edit it | High with technical readers, if the insight is real |
| Be covered or quoted in someone else's story | Another HackerNoon writer covers your product or quotes your team | High |
| Business and sponsored programs | HackerNoon also runs business publishing and sponsorship options for companies | Medium: reach, read as company-supported |
What gets editorial coverage
- Original technical insight: how you built something, what broke, what you learned.
- Data or research your company owns.
- Clear opinions on AI, security, infrastructure or developer tools, backed by experience.
- Stories with a useful takeaway rather than a product pitch.
Mistakes to avoid
- Submitting a press release as a story.
- Hiding company interests: HackerNoon asks you to disclose them.
- Publishing content you don't own the rights to.
