This command generates a complete, publish-ready press release following the standard inverted-pyramid structure that journalists and editors expect. It crafts a compelling headline, a strong lead paragraph that covers the essential who/what/when/where/why, supporting body paragraphs with context and data, executive quotes that add perspective rather than restating facts, and a company boilerplate. Beyond the press release itself, it provides distribution guidance including wire service recommendations, targeted media outreach suggestions, and timing advice.
The command delegates to the pr-specialist agent, which understands media conventions, AP style, and what makes a release newsworthy versus ignored.

DATAFLOW RAISES $5M SEED ROUND LED BY SEQUOIA CAPITAL
TO MAKE REAL-TIME DATA PIPELINES ACCESSIBLE TO EVERY ENGINEERING TEAM
Funding will accelerate product development and expand go-to-market
as demand for simplified data infrastructure surges
SAN FRANCISCO — March 14, 2026 — Dataflow, the real-time data pipeline
platform that eliminates infrastructure complexity, today announced it has
raised $5 million in seed funding led by Sequoia Capital, with participation
from Y Combinator and angel investors including [notable names]. The
investment will fuel product expansion and team growth as the company
addresses the $45B data integration market.
Dataflow enables engineering teams to build production-grade data pipelines
in minutes rather than months. Since launching in private beta six months
ago, the platform has been adopted by over 200 engineering teams, processing
more than 2 billion events daily.
"Every engineering team we talk to is drowning in data infrastructure
complexity," said [Founder Name], CEO and co-founder of Dataflow. "We
built Dataflow because we lived this problem — and the response from
early customers confirms that the market is ready for a fundamentally
simpler approach."
[Partner Name], Partner at Sequoia Capital, added: "Dataflow is doing for
data pipelines what Stripe did for payments — turning a weeks-long
infrastructure project into a few lines of code. The early traction
speaks for itself."
The funding will be used to expand the engineering team, launch additional
data source integrations, and build out self-serve onboarding to support
the company's product-led growth motion.
**About Dataflow**

engineering teams. Founded in 2025 by [names], the company makes it
simple to connect, transform, and route data across any system — without
managing infrastructure. Dataflow is backed by Sequoia Capital and
