Audience
Don't buy impressions — buy the room. Our audience is the people actively building and funding the next generation of Australian and New Zealand startups, and it is concentrated rather than broad.
Role and location are measured separately, so these percentages describe the same audience from two angles rather than dividing it into parts. Figures set May 2026.
Formats
Pick a placement that fits your funnel — from a quick host-read to a branded series of your own.
The hosts your audience already trusts read your story in their own words — inside the episode, not interrupting it.

Testimonials
"We had a great experience working with Day One and the Perspective X podcast. The sponsorship enabled us to build brand awareness amongst an aligned audience and the conversations throughout the series aligned to our brand. The Day One team were very attentive, supportive and thorough throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend and we look forward to partnering again in the future."
"Working with Day One gave us authentic, founder-focused brand presence in Australia and the performance reports were great too!"
"For nearly two years, we’ve partnered with Day One across shows like First Cheque, In the Blink of AI, and more recently, Oversubscribed. Their collaborative, hands-on approach has made each campaign seamless and effective, strengthening our brand visibility and credibility across the startup community."
"It's been great partnering with Adam and the team so far, I hope we can engage again in the future."
