    Launched in August 2019, Podcast Network Asia (PNA) is a Philippine-based podcast network agency that provides creators with production support and monetisation opportunities. It has grown its roster to 415 podcasts and claims over 10 million listeners. PNA offers production and performance analytics services and plans to enhance those offerings with the new funding. The company intends to expand regionally into Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia and will use capital to bankroll that expansion. PNA also plans to launch Podmetrics Marketplace, enabling podcasts on its platform to leverage data analytics and apply for affiliate marketing campaigns to generate revenue. Management positions podcasting as entering a "golden age," noting the Philippines is among the fastest-growing countries in listenership.
