“SpeakUp could be the next unicorn.” 🦄 - said our investor. On video.

Let’s translate this into facts.
Every decade creates a new AI infrastructure layer.

– Google organized the web
– Stripe automated payments
– Shopify enabled commerce
– OpenAI redefined how humans work with knowledge

👉 SpeakUp is doing the same for speakers, media and events.

Not another app.
Not a directory.
Not an agency.

AI-powered infrastructure that understands:
– who should speak
– where
– for whom
– and why

Replacing:
❌ manual scouting
❌ WhatsApp chains
❌ Excel lists
❌ closed gatekeepers

With:
✅ AI matching
✅ real demand signals
✅ global access
✅ scalable workflows

This is how markets evolve.
AI doesn’t just automate tasks.
It removes entire layers of friction.

Unicorns are not built by hype.
They’re built when AI meets timing, scale and inevitability.

🎥 Watch the video.
This is what AI conviction sounds like.

🔹 Investors exploring AI, infrastructure, marketplaces or creator economy:
📩 hello@speak-up.pro

🔹 Strategic partners in media, events, content or platforms:
Comment “PARTNER”

🦄 Comment “UNICORN” if you see the pattern
🔁 Repost if you believe AI will redefine this industry

This is not a feature.
This is a new layer of the AI economy.

Our first interview since the Gulf Business Awards 2026 nominations.

SpeakUp co-founder Nick Zhuchkov sat down with @thegodfatherofdubairealestate Anthony Joseph AJ, host of the Dubai Stars Podcast, for a conversation about starting over in a new country, building a tech company, and the lessons he learned along the way.

Nick and SpeakUp were shortlisted for AI Leader of the Year and AI Company of the Year. In this interview, Nick talks about his journey from law to software engineering and entrepreneurship, moving to Dubai, and why protecting your intellectual property matters from day one.

He also shares how SpeakUp uses AI to help event organizers, businesses, media, and public-sector teams discover and book speakers and experts.

Watch the full conversation to hear more about speaker discovery, personal branding, startup building, and the future of public speaking.

Two nominations at the Gulf Business Awards 2026.

SpeakUp was shortlisted for AI Company of the Year, while our co-founder Nick Zhuchkov was shortlisted for AI Leader of the Year.

For a growing company, this recognition carries special meaning.

SpeakUp was recognised at the same awards as some of the region’s most established organisations, including ADNOC Distribution, RAKBANK, Miral, Chalhoub Group, GE Aerospace, Mediclinic Middle East, GE Vernova, stc Bahrain and Alshaya Group.

In our AI categories, we stood alongside companies and leaders such as Inception42, AIQ and Saeed Nasser Al Ahbabi of ADNOC Distribution.

Building a company means doing most of the work away from the spotlight: solving problems, making difficult decisions and continuing to move forward when the path is uncertain. Moments like this allow us to pause and see how far SpeakUp has already come.

Being shortlisted in two AI categories among organisations and leaders of this level is a great honour for our entire team.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists, and thank you, @gulfbusiness Gulf Business, for recognising the people and companies shaping business across the region.

We are proud to be part of this community and even more motivated for what comes next 💚 by @speakup.booking

Two nominations at the Gulf Business Awards 2026.

SpeakUp was shortlisted for AI Company of the Year, and my co-founder Nick Zhuchkov was shortlisted for AI Leader of the Year.

When you are building a company, most of the journey happens away from the spotlight. It happens through difficult decisions, constant changes, late nights and a lot of belief in what you are creating.

That is why moments like this matter.

Being recognised in two AI categories alongside some of the region’s most established companies and leaders is a huge honour for us. It shows how far SpeakUp has already come and gives us even more motivation for what comes next.

Congratulations to all the winners and finalists, and thank you, @gulfbusiness Gulf Business, for recognising the people and companies shaping the region’s business community.

For us, simply being in that room and seeing @speakup.booking among the finalists was already a moment worth celebrating 💚 by @speakup.booking

Podcast guest booking in 2026: what came out of Podcast Movement NYC about who should be in the guest chair.

Sept 17–18, @terminal5nyc , New York. Two days of @podcastmovement . We weren’t in the room - we read everything that came out of it. Here’s what holds up.

The definition is gone. Lauren Passell and Arielle Nissenblatt of @tinkmedia opened with «WTF is a Podcast in 2026?» and the room couldn’t agree on one. The path listeners described: a clip on YouTube, then the full episode on whatever app they already use.

Format stopped being the argument. Greg Glenday, CEO of @acast , on Podcast Pulse 2026: «The industry spent years arguing over formats, but audiences moved on long ago.» 88% of fans consume both audio and video. 63% start an episode in one format and finish it in another.

Where people look now. Tom Webster’s first look at The Podcast Landscape 2026, from Sounds Profitable and Signal Hill Insights, put YouTube, Spotify and Netflix in the top three platforms for podcast consumption. Smart TV listening went from 8% in 2024 to 12%.

The host is the show. In The Podcast Study 2026, 82% said the host is a major reason, or the only reason, they listen.

And on AI the keynote was blunt: fully AI-produced podcasts with no human involvement are overhyped.

Our read: if the human conversation is the product, the guest chair is a growth decision, not a favour you ask for on LinkedIn. Describe the episode once. The experts come to you.

Post a request - free.

Describe the speaker call. Watch what happens.
One form: format, topic, audience, date, language, budget and etc. Two minutes to fill in.

Then the experts come to you, ranked against that brief -not a list of everyone who ever held a microphone. Most organisers see their first matches within 24 hours, often within a few hours.
