About

Jen Hartmann is a two-time founder and entrepreneur with more than a decade of experience in marketing, public relations, and brand building. She is the founder of Pitch Please, an AI-powered platform transforming how brands discover, manage, and pay creators. Before Pitch Please, Jen bootstrapped NEAT: The Agency, a boutique PR agency, from just $3,000 into a team of 12 that served more than 300 brands. A former nationally ranked BMX racer turned distance runner, Jen knows a thing or two about taking risks, pivoting, and occasionally learning lessons the hard way. She's passionate about entrepreneurship, the creator economy, and being honest about what building a business actually looks like—including the messy, uncomfortable, and occasionally spectacular failures along the way.
