I don't do motivational speeches. I do talks that make people question their assumptions about AI, about how fast they're moving, and about what they think they know about building a business.
I've sold a startup for $40M and backed or advised more than 150 companies. When I speak, I tell audiences what I actually think, with real examples, not business-school case studies.
Event organisers book me when they want:
01
What it actually means to build an AI-first business. Not which tools to buy, but how to think about AI as infrastructure, competitive advantage and team capability. The talk that bridges the gap between the hype and the how.
02
We launched, scaled and sold Spreets in 11 months. That wasn't luck. It was a deliberate approach to decision-making, team structure and market timing, and this talk shows how it applies to founders building today.
03
After backing and advising 150+ companies, I've seen the same governance mistakes repeat. For founders facing their first board, and boards that want to stop being a bottleneck.
04
Where the opportunities are, which industries are most exposed, and what it takes for Australian companies to compete.
“He was an incredible speaker and people kept coming up to me afterwards saying they got so much out of the talk that will change the way they operate and do business.”
“Absolutely brilliant talk. Thank you!”
“Dean McEvoy is the kind of missionary founder Australia needs.”
“Dean has an extraordinary understanding of the online world.”
Tell me the date, audience and what you want them to walk away with.
