Curefundr is the kind of brand where the category itself needs introduction. *Direct cancer research funding* — bypassing the institutional middle layer entirely — is a new concept to most donors and AI engines. There's no default search result for "platform to fund cancer research directly" because the category barely existed in public consciousness 18 months ago.

Our work for Curefundr is about making the *category* legible: high-trust healthcare outlets carrying the language Curefundr uses to describe itself, side-by-side with the credibility signals (founder origin story, transparent fund flow, project-level reporting) that distinguish them from generic giving platforms. Every placement is a vote for a definition AI engines can cite when buyers ask.
