Matt Bird

Matt Bird is a dynamic serial entrepreneur renowned for his impactful communication and inspirational speaking. As the Founder and CEO of PublishU, Matt empowers over 100 aspiring authors each year, helping them write, publish, and launch their books to a global audience. 

With more than 20 authored books to his name and contributions to The Times, he’s made a significant mark in the literary world.

Despite early struggles with remedial English classes and being labelled “stupid” by teachers, Matt’s twenties brought a life-changing dyslexia diagnosis. Rather than seeing it as a setback, he embraced neurodiversity as his superpower, fuelling his entrepreneurial journey. 

Along the way, he experienced both failures and triumphs, including the successful launch of PublishU in 2021.

Matt is also the visionary behind NAYBA, a global non-profit operating in over a dozen countries dedicated to supporting people and communities facing vulnerability and isolation.

As a sought-after speaker, Matt has shared his insights on entrepreneurship, relational growth, neurodiversity, and community transformation with audiences in 50 countries, reaching over a million people.
