Treble Public Relations

What Treble Public Relations does

Treble Public Relations is a privately held, bootstrapped B2B technology public relations agency founded in April 2013 in Austin, Texas by CEO Ethan Parker. The firm specializes in earned media for venture-backed startups, Series B through pre-IPO enterprise technology companies, and venture capital firms, organizing delivery through five specialized practice groups: Cybersecurity, Enterprise Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Hardtech, and Venture Capital. Treble has tracked 33 portfolio exits (including acquisitions by Google, Oracle, VMware, H-E-B, and Cision) and 4 IPOs (Benson Hill, View, CoreWeave, ZeroFox) since inception, alongside 100+ funding launch engagements.

The agency's service portfolio spans Strategic Content, Media Relations, Trendjacking, Thought Leadership, Analyst Relations, Awards, Speaking Programs, Social Media, Messaging, and International PR, augmented by three proprietary programs: the Funding Accelerator Program (30-day sprint tied to funding rounds), the Elevate Program (10-week post-funding program), and the Portfolio Membership Program (annual Alto and Bass tiers for VC firms). Differentiated assets include the INK content bureau, the Cybersecurity Creator Media Leaderboard, the Press-to-Pipeline Activation in the Age of AI report, and embedded senior-level teams rather than junior-staff execution. Treble maintains offices in Austin (HQ), San Francisco, Chicago (opened June 2026), and San Diego, operating on a hybrid retainer-plus-project revenue model with pricing that is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The go-to-market is direct-sales led, with founders and practice-group leaders engaged in business development and C-suite relationships. Distribution relies on reputation, original research, industry events, speaking engagements, and a portfolio of VC partnerships (Mercury Fund, 4490 Ventures, S3 Ventures, Silverton Partners, OpenView, Next Coast Ventures, Signal Peak Ventures, Dundee Venture Capital, True Wealth Ventures, Energy Capital Ventures, LiveOak Venture Partners, and TechOperators). The firm has reported 9 consecutive years of record revenue growth, 20% YoY revenue growth in 2025, and 127% two-year revenue growth per its Inc. 5000 Regionals Southwest ranking (#85 in 2024, up from #163 in 2023), with no external funding rounds, acquisitions, or parent-company relationships disclosed.
