Apply to speak via Nasdaq as an expert in mktg, strategy, finance, and more

***March 2026 update: Nasdaq is still actively seeking D&D speakers and has been thrilled to feature a handful of you already! Submit this form if you’d like to be considered for speaking opportunities via Nasdaq. They have already featured over ten of you (and counting!)—you can check out some of the members featured (and on what topic) at the bottom of this post👀

We’re thrilled to be passing along the *ongoing* opportunity to get featured as a speaker via Nasdaq through their Entrepreneurial Center Teaching Community!

👉🏽 The Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center is currently looking for experts at the top of their fields who are tackling some of today’s most exciting and relevant problems and who can mentor and coach entrepreneurs across a variety of industries. ***And they are particularly excited to connect with D&D members!

The Center is a non-profit organization designed to educate, innovate, and connect aspiring and current entrepreneurs and is dedicated to providing entrepreneurs from across industries, stages of growth, and walks of life with quality resources and access to mentors, training, and networking—all for free.

They are open to a wide range of topics relevant to entrepreneurs!

🔥 It can include anything from finance, funding, pricing, marketing, strategy, HR, people ops,  founder success stories, contract law for startups, Nasdaq listing requirements, and much more!

💠 Pro tip: They do love tangible topics in particular. You can view their past sessions here to give you a sense of the breadth of topics that would be most suitable.

👉🏽 Visibility: Note that this is an unpaid speaking opportunity but in addition to being able to say that you’ve spoken at Nasdaq, your session will be advertised to all mentors, mentees, AND the general public. Attendance may reach up to 500 participants (although it likely won’t in all cases), and your session will be recorded and live on within the Nasdaq Entrepreneurial Center’s YouTube channel—making this an excellent and ongoing way to garner visibility for you and your work.

👉🏽 Requirements: The ability to create an event/course outline/structure that will be submitted three weeks before your session takes place and ability/willingness to share your session across your network and social media channels.

👉🏽 Strongly recommended: Although not a requirement, speakers are strongly encouraged to enroll as a mentor and contribute to the Center’s online community of Mentor Makers. (If you do enroll as a mentor, make sure to mention that you found out about this opportunity through Dreamers & Doers to catch the eye of the mentor reviewers!)

➡️ Fill out this D&D-exclusive form so we can pass your information on directly to Nasdaq! 📈

This is a D&D-exclusive opportunity, please don’t share this outside D&D. Thank you!

Disclaimer: While Dreamers & Doers has chosen to share this unpaid speaking opportunity due to the belief that not all gains come in monetary forms, there is, however, a problematic history of failing to recognize the labor of women, and particularly women of color, which can be perpetuated by such opportunities. Dreamers & Doers is working to push such conversations forward with a hope to change the internal policies of institutions without a history of compensating speakers. We also encourage those applying for this current and similar offerings to think creatively about other forms of compensation that may be beneficial to you such as having the institution guarantee social media shares, provide recordings of the event (where applicable), or ensure other further promotion of your work. Thank you for helping us be #BetterTogether.
