A lot of journalists and media teams need credible experts quickly for interviews, commentary, quotes, and podcast episodes.
But expert sourcing still often depends on:
personal network
PR agencies
social media posts
manual search across multiple platforms
We re building SpeakUp to make expert discovery easier for media teams, and I d love to learn from others in this space.

For event organizers, speaker sourcing often looks much harder than it should.
You need to:
find relevant speakers
compare them quickly
check fit for the audience
manage outreach
keep track of replies and decisions
We re building SpeakUp as an AI platform to help event organizers find speakers faster, but I d love to understand where the biggest pain really is.
I ve been thinking a lot about how hard podcast guest booking still is.
Most podcasters either:
search manually on LinkedIn
ask their network
rely on agencies
or spend too much time on cold outreach
