# Speakify > We're on a mission to make world-class speakers accessible to every event organiser, everywhere. ## Our mission Speakify exists to eliminate the opacity and gatekeeping of the traditional speaker bureau model. We believe every event organiser — from a startup founder hosting a team day to a conference director planning a 5,000-person summit — deserves direct, transparent access to the right speaker for their moment. ## How we work Buyers describe their event in plain language. Our AI reads the brief, scores every speaker on the platform against it, and returns a ranked shortlist within minutes — with transparent fees, live availability, and verified buyer reviews. No middlemen, no opaque markups. Once a match is found, contracts and NDAs are signed in-platform. Payment is held securely and released only seven days after the event is delivered — protecting both parties. ## Speaker-neutral by design Speakify surfaces the best match regardless of whether a speaker is Speakify-exclusive, bureau-partnered, or discovered through the open network. We operate as a meritocracy: speaker credibility compounds through verified buyer reviews, not bureau relationships. ## Platform - [Speakify — Find & Book Speakers](https://www.wearespeakify.com): The speaker booking marketplace - [Inloop.Studio Pte Ltd](https://inloop.studio): Technology partner and product builder ## Founders - [Paul McVeigh](https://www.wearespeakify.com): Co-Founder, Speakify - [Rhianne McVeigh](https://www.wearespeakify.com): Co-Founder, Speakify ## Product Builder - [Sneha Ravindra](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sneharavindra/): Product Builder at Inloop Studio ## Speakers on Speakify - Aaron Willis — UK, Manchester - Abdul Buhari — UK & London - abi oyepitan — UK, London - Adam Finch — Manchester, United Kingdom - Adam Monk — United Kingdom, Stockport - Ade Oladipo — london - Adina Dinu — London, UK - Adrian Coxon — London - Adrian Shooter — United Arab Emirates, Dubai - Agnieszka Stykowska — Poland - Alex Bailess — London - Alex Goode — London - Alex Sheen — Columbus, OH - Alfie Hewett OBE — UK - Norwich / London - Alice Law — Dubai - UAE - Alice Tai OBE — UK - London - Ali Hendry — Brighton - Alistair Brownlee — Leeds, UK - Alix Willemez — TUNISIA TUNIS - Ama Agbeze — UK & New Zealand - Amanda Gore — Dallas Tx USA - Amina Ibrahim Adan (Mina Ibrahim) — UK, London - Amy Mae Dolan — Dublin Ireland & Nashville USA - Amy Merricks — Birmingham - Amy Purdy — USA, Silverthorne, CO - Amy Williams MBE OLY — Bath, England - Andrew Grill — London - Andy Cole — London - Anna Catalano — Fulshear - Annie Croner — USA, Denver, Colorado - Ann Marie Davies — Liverpool, England - Anthony Barry — Liverpool and London, England - Anthony Ervin — New York City, USA - Aoife Mannion — Newcastle - Asmir Begovic — UK and London - Bean Gill — Edmonton, Canada - Beatrice Lessi — Uitikon - Becks Cant — UK - Cambridgeshire - Becky Holmes — UK, Stratford upon Avon - Benedetto Conversano — UK, London - Ben Mee — Sheffield - Beth Aarons — London - Bethany England — UK - Beth Tweddle MBE — UK - Liverpool - Betsy Grunch — Gainesville, GA, USA - Bolivie Serge BETSEN TCHOUA — uk London - Brent Adamson — Leesburg, VA - Brent Gleeson — San Diego, CA (USA) - Brian Dzingai — Chicago, IL - Brian McBride — New York, USA - Brian Whittle — UK, Glasgow - Britt Frank — USA Kansas City - Caleb Spitler — Savage Minnesota - Captain Martin Lear — Farnham, UK - Carl Frampton — Belfast, Northern Ireland - Carly Telford — London - Caroline Frankum — United Kingdom London - Caro Ruttledge — London, UK - Caspar Schlickum — Singapore, Singapore - Charlotte Valeur — UK - London - Chloe Morgan — London - Chloe Richardson — Sheffield, United Kingdom - Chris Bird — London, UK - Chris Croft — UK - Bournemouth - Chris Dyer — Orange County, CA USA - Chris Garrison — London, UK - Chris huntingford — UK, Huntingdon - Chris Jones — UK, Manchester - Chris Kirkland — United Kingdom/ormskirk - Christian "Boo" Boucousis — Park City UT USA - Ciaran May — Ireland - Belfast - Claire Rafferty — London - Clara Durodié — London, UK - Colin Lee — Torquay, England - Colly Graham — Belfast Northern Ireland - Conor Nolan — Dublin, Ireland - Corina Goetz — London, United Kingdrom - Damian Mcgrath — Ilkley, ENGLAND - Dan Donachie — Manchester, UK. - Daniel Arda — Chelmsford, England - Daniel MacQueen — Canada, Vancouver - Dani Markovits — London, UK - Danny Crates — Essex - Danny Sculthorpe — Wigan, England - Danny Simpson — Greater Manchester, United Kingdom - Danny Webber — Manchester - Daryl Fielding — London, UK - Dave Jones — West Midlands, England - Dave Kitson — United Kingdom, Reading - Dave Ryding — Preston, England - David Artell — Chester and Grimsby, England - David Bentley — London, UK - David Caldwell — Scotland Glasgow - David Galbraith — Scotland,Glasgow - David Gareth Thomas — Hong Kong - David Hicks — UK, London - David Hillier — Bristol, England - David McIntosh — Glasgow - David Meade — Northern Ireland, Belfast - David Rahman — U.K. & London - David Reich — Charleston, South Carolina, USA - David Sequeira — London England - David Simeone — U.S. - David Webb — Esher, Surrey, England - Dawn Dines — Exeter UK - Dean Ashton — Norwich - Demi strokes — Newcastle/ Manchester - Deri Llewellyn-Davies — Uk london and ross on wye - Dermot O’Connor — Ireland, Dublin - Devon M.
