First Episode Is Now LIVVVVEE🗣️

In venture capital, being oversubscribed means everyone wants in, too much demand, not enough room. It’s what happens when a vision, a founder, or a company becomes undeniably magnetic.

That’s the energy behind this show, Where Australia’s most ambitious founders and investors sit down for unfiltered, in-person conversations about building through chaos, from near-death moments and brutal pivots to the art of hiring killers, raising capital, and scaling conviction.

Think All-In, Flagrant, and Full Send, but for the next generation of Australian startups. No theory. No polished PR. Just raw, honest insight from the people actually doing the work.

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! AI! AI! AI! 🇦🇺

Australia is not sitting on the sidelines of the AI boom. From Relevance AI’s agentic engineering breakthroughs to ReFresh’s mission to decode human emotion at work, founders here are building fast, staying curious, and proving the magic happens when you mix ambition with experimentation. Across creativity, mental wellbeing, product velocity, and taste, these conversations dive into what actually moves the needle, and why the teams laughing loudest often end up defining the future.

In The Blink of AI brings you face to face with the minds shaping it all. Hear from the technical unicorn who makes AI feel simple, the creator turned founder solving loneliness, the duo who raised millions before shipping a product, and Canva’s own CJ on keeping creativity alive in a world full of AI slop. Australia is going big on intelligence that elevates humans. Come learn from the ones building it in real time.

I AM IN

Three magical words you love to hear (or say), First Cheque is for you!

From operators turned VCs like Matt Browne breaking down why the most boring B2B SaaS businesses secretly print the best returns, to Maxine’s inside scoop from Super Returns Asia with the power players deciding where billions go next, this show goes deep on the real mechanics behind early-stage investing.

Hear how funds choose winners long before the hype, why resilience beats excitement in software economics, and what Australia must do to stay relevant among global giants shifting capital to India, Japan, and the next wave of frontier markets. If you want to understand how money moves and how investors truly think, First Cheque delivers the playbook straight from the decision makers.

Let’s Flip The Script 🙅‍♀️

For too long, women’s health has been under-researched, under-funded, and under-prioritised. Medical standards have historically been based on male bodies, leaving huge gaps in treatment, diagnosis, and understanding.

And the name "The New Script"? 👩‍🍳💋. It’s one of my absolute favourites (alongside In The Blink of AI):

📝 In medicine, a “script” is shorthand for a prescription, a nod to treatment and care

✨ It also signals rewriting the story, shifting the narrative toward equity and fresh perspectives
