Our Story

Talkadot was born from a simple idea: what if speakers could know, in real-time, how their message resonates? We saw the gap between the impact speakers have the potential to create and the tools and process they often lack. With this vision, our team combined expertise in technology, product design, and community building to create a tool that bridges that gap. Today, Talkadot is trusted by thousands of speakers and organizers to provide clarity, build credibility, and grow the speaking industry.
