On this week’s Pitches That Placed, we’re highlighting a pitch that landed an exclusive in [TechCrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2022/11/01/medcrypt-security-medical-device/) to propel the company's expansion of medical devices. Let’s see why this pitch worked:

 

### **Let’s take a look at the actual pitch that placed: **

*Subject line: Exclusive for 11/1: Cybersecurity firm raises $25M to secure the world's 10 million medical devices*

 

*Hi \_\_\_\_\_,*

*I have an exclusive story for 11/1 that I wanted to run by you. Here's the gist:*

*--\_\_\_\_\_, a leading provider of cybersecurity for medical devices, will announce a $XXM Series B fund led by \_\_\_\_\_ and \_\_\_\_\_ Innovation on Nov. 1.*

*--With an average of 10-15 medical devices per patient bed, there are about 10-15 million medical devices in U.S. hospitals today, all of which pose a serious cybersecurity risk to patient safety, indicating an urgent need for security. *

*--Spokespeople: Chief Security Strategist, \_\_\_\_\_, a seasoned industry executive with 30+ years of experience in the space and author of the only medical device cybersecurity textbook for engineers, as well as VP of Regulatory Strategy, \_\_\_\_\_, who was former cybersecurity program manager at the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA).*

*--TechCrunch covered \_\_\_\_\_'s last raise in 2019. There has been a lot of regulatory movement from the FDA since then, which both spokespeople can discuss. *

*May I share the release and set up an interview this week? Let me know if you'd like to consider this exclusive -thanks! *
