Your athletic career backed by sponsorship.
Podium Partner connects local, state, and national athletes with Australian businesses so the cost of competing isn't the thing that holds your season back.
You already have a platform, now let a business find it.
You don't need a huge social following to attract a sponsor. Your platform is everything around you. Your club, your training squad, the people who watch you compete, and the result you're chasing.
Sponsorship, without the chase
No cold requests, no guessing who to ask. We match you with businesses who are actively looking to back athletes like you.
Funding that goes where it's needed
Use sponsorship to cover travel, gear, and coaching, instead of funding your season out of your own pocket.
Raise your profile
Every season you compete, your profile grows, making it easier to attract bigger support next time.
Two levels of involvement.
Payouts to athletes range from $600 to $5,000 for the season, depending on what the sponsorship involves. Below is an example of the different sponsorship commitments.

A few of the athletes building their season.
