Michael Hatzikostas
15-year-old builder of Speaker Hub — made for speakers like my mom.
Connect on LinkedIn →Hi, I'm Michael Hatzikostas — most people call me Mick. I'm 15, and I'm from Connecticut.
I grew up around my mom, Erin Hatzikostas, who built a career as a professional speaker. I had a front-row seat as she worked new technology into what she does — and I saw just how much of it there was.
Why I built Speaker Hub
The problem my mom kept running into wasn't a lack of tools — it was the opposite. There was all this powerful tech, but it was scattered across a dozen different apps and a pain to set up. Great technology that was simply too much of a hassle to actually use.
That's why I built Speaker Hub: to bring the newest tech together in one easy, one-stop shop, so my mom and speakers like her can spend their time on their message instead of wrestling with ten different tools.
I've been coding for a while — I learned HTML and Python at a coding school called The Coder School — and Speaker Hub is the biggest thing I've built so far.
Where it’s going
My hope is that Speaker Hub reaches speakers everywhere and makes their message a little easier to get out into the world. If it saves them time and helps even one more person hear what they have to say, that's a win.
It's built and run by one 15-year-old, so every bit of support genuinely helps me keep improving it and adding new tools.
