Chapters

This one business podcast charges $450,000 to sponsor this podcast. This is the Acquired podcast. So I'm looking at their media kit right now. And basically when you look at the founders, this audience, they have mostly CEOs, mostly entrepreneurs that listen to this, right? 20% of the audience is founders, executives 35%, technical operators 26%, capital ecosystem 21%, right? And when you scroll down, you look at the sponsorship cost, Neil, it shows you the packages, right? If you're Looking for a presenting sponsorship in spring 2026? You're gonna pay $1.875 million for 4 episodes. But this is like the pinnacle, I think, of podcast ads that does well. And this is nice, but I still like our businesses more.
