Sponsor a Thursday
House Blend goes to verified CEOs only, one email a week, 52 sends a year. Each send carries one sponsor, named at the top, and nothing else. There is no banner on the archive and there never will be.
How it opens
Sponsorship opens when 1,500 verified CEOs read House Blend. Until then every send goes out unsponsored, and that is the point: the list is built on trust before anything is sold against it.
Sends are reserved in order. Reserve one now and you are first in line for the first Thursday that opens; nothing is charged until it runs, and you can withdraw any time before it does. Dedicated Thursday sends start at $1,500 and are priced by the size of the verified list on the day they run. The current rate is published on the open-metrics page the day sponsorship opens, and never negotiated in private.
Write with your company name and work email. We reply by hand within two working days and ask for your one sentence when the send is scheduled.
What you can sponsor
-
A Thursday
Your name and one sentence at the top of one House Blend send to every verified CEO on the list. Nothing inside the stories, nothing on the site.

The rules
- Fifty words and one link. We edit to the house voice and you approve the final text.
- Named at the top as the sponsor. Never dressed as content, never inside a story or on the archive.
- Every reader is a verified CEO: company-domain email, public profile, and a person who checked.
- A sponsor never gets a regular's name, email or company, and never sits at a table or a dinner.
- Nothing is written, ranked or recommended because a sponsor paid.
- We decline anyone whose product is the story, anyone who wants the list, and anything that needs a disclaimer longer than the ad.
Every count and open rate is on the open-metrics page, updated with every send.
Why it is worth waiting for
A CEO who reads House Blend chose to. No app, no feed, no algorithm between the email and the person who runs the company, and every reader verified one at a time. Most lists that reach CEOs are bought; this one is told, story by story, by the CEOs on it. That is why there is one sponsor a week, sold in order, at a published rate.
