Podcast production for Australia's startup ecosystem
W2D1 Media is a podcast agency for founders, investors and operators. We design, produce and distribute B2D podcasts so you can build trust, deal flow and opportunity through conversations you're already having — without learning podcasting the hard way.
What we do
We handle strategy, recording, editing, show notes, clips and distribution. You show up prepared, talk from experience, and get back to building. We build the system behind your show — clear positioning, consistent formats, and workflows that fit around board meetings and team stand-ups. The result is a podcast that earns repeat listening and quietly supports your pipeline over time.
Who we work with
Venture funds and angels who want to be top of mind with the right founders before a round opens
Founders who want their market to know how they think, without adding another weekly task
Operators and ecosystem leaders who have something to teach and need a format that respects their time
Most of our clients sit in the AU/NZ startup and VC world and care more about depth with the right 500 people than reach with the wrong 50,000.
The network behind you
We also run Day One FM — a podcast network reaching 35,000+ monthly listeners across shows like Oversubscribed, First Cheque, Perspective X and more. That keeps us close to the ecosystem and gives us a live testbed for formats and growth experiments before they touch your show. Where it makes sense, we cross-promote and plug your episodes into a community of founders and investors who already trust the Day One brand.
How we work
We start with strategy: who you need to reach, what they care about, and how a show supports your go-to-market. Then we map format, episode structure and guest plan so every recording has a job to do. Once live, we stay close to the numbers and the anecdotal feedback — which episodes drive replies, intros and meetings — and adjust accordingly.
Why we exist
Day One started as a documentary about the Australian startup ecosystem. Over time it became a network of shows with founders, operators and investors sharing what actually worked — not the polished headline. We saw good operators with strong points of view, and a lot of podcasts built on loose ideas and inconsistent execution. W2D1 Media exists to close that gap.
