Founder & Managing Partner at Trust Fund
Sophia Amoruso is the founder, investor, and New York Times bestselling author known for her entrepreneurial journey. She established Nasty Gal, an e-commerce brand that started in a garage and grew to over $100 million in revenue. Her determination and innovative approach have made her a prominent business speaker and investor, with appearances at events such as LA Tech Week and TechCrunch Disrupt.

Sophia's story gained widespread recognition through her memoir #GIRLBOSS, which details her early life and experiences as a founder. The book was adapted into the Netflix series Girlboss in 2017, featuring Britt Robertson in the lead role. Her achievements have earned her a place on the cover of Forbes magazine’s 2016 issue on “America’s Richest Self-Made Women,” as well as features in Fortune’s “40 under 40,” Forbes’ “30 under 30,” Inc.’s “30 under 30,” and Fast Company’s “Most Creative People in Business."

In addition to her memoir, Sophia has written two other books: Nasty Galaxy and The Girlboss Workbook. She also founded Business Class, a digital community and course aimed at entrepreneurs, freelancers, and side hustlers.

Currently, she leads Trust Fund, an early-stage venture fund that focuses on pre- and seed-stage companies. Her fund has successfully invested in notable startups, including Liquid Death, a company known for its canned mountain water, which has reached a billion-dollar valuation.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
