vspeaker: Crowdfund sessions with the world’s top speakers

The best way to learn something is from an expert. That's why conferences exist — you attend sessions, wander around, and listen to someone who's really good at their job talk about it. But here’s the problem with conferences: 1. They're (often) expensive. 2. They take a lot of time. 3. Lots of talks, many aren't relevant yet you pay the same price. That's why we want to do something a little different. >>> How it works It’s pretty simple: 1. Vote on a session or speaker you want to learn from. 2. Popular proposals get moved into the funding stage, where you can pre-order them. 3. Each session needs a minimum number of purchasers to be produced. 4. Once enough people pre-order a session, it's fully funded and will get scheduled! >>> vspeaker in action One of the sessions currently open for pre-order is James Clear's How To Get 1% Better Every Day. As individuals, we can't afford his speaking fee. Your best shot of listening to him speak live is at a conference. James Clear recently spoke at the 2020 Texas Conference for Women, which was $175 a ticket. But what if we got 200 people who want to watch James Clear speak? It becomes much more affordable, and you don't have to attend a conference. The more people sign up, the cheaper it gets. If the session doesn't get fully funded or the speaker can't make it, sessions are refunded. Live sessions can also include Q&A, breakout discussions and more that aren't always possible at conferences.
