Hey ,

What was the greatest speech you ever attended? What made it stand out? Was it the inspirational message, the story or the speaker? Did it make you want to jump out of your seat, shout “Hell Yeah!” and give a standing ovation?

I’ve no doubt you've seen some spectacular sessions—but now it's time to take events to a new level with our virtual talent marketplace, Ovationz!

Creating A New Market For Memorable Moments

Co-founded with Ray Leonard Jr, son of Sugar Ray, and backed by the world's leading talent in business, finance, music, sports, and health and wellness this business is set to be a game charger.

It's one of the first companies to be launched at Nobody Studios, our new venture studio with the goal to create 100 compelling companies over the next 5 years. And built using another of our portfolio companies ThoughtForma—honestly, it's beyond exciting.

Ovationz connects talent to opportunity, and was inspired by Ray’s frustration with how digital events and experience failed to deliver for both planners and talent.

We've created a true turnkey experience, for anyone to connect with world class talent, anywhere at any time. Event planners, offsite organizers, even team meeting chairs can energize attendees by sourcing outstanding talent for minutes to create memorable moments!

You know virtual meetings, events and conferences have struggled to have a spark. We have the talent to share short, sharp speeches to send audiences crazy.
