Alex Klein has been likened to the legendary Steve Jobs for his significant impact on changing how younger generations perceive computers. Kano, his innovative technology company, has been recognised by Fast Company for its groundbreaking work, surpassing even industry giants like Google and Microsoft. Alex's journey began when his six-year-old cousin challenged him to create a simple computer that anyone could assemble.
This sparked a highly successful crowdfunding campaign and led to the development of Kano's educational computer kit. Kano's computers have received numerous awards, and the company has collaborated with popular franchises such as Star Wars and Harry Potter. Alex is also known for his work on democratising technology and his contributions as a credited lyricist on Kanye West's album.
In addition, he has shared his ideas with influential figures and serves on the board of DriveTribe alongside Top Gear journalists. In a recent partnership with Microsoft, Alex has focused on developing a Windows laptop specifically designed for modern learning. His mission is to make technology accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few. Alex's speeches cover many topics, including addressing the rising generation on their terms, democratising technology, and leading with purpose while staying true to personal values.
Topics, sessions and talks
Alex Klein has developed the world’s most innovative technologies for young people, since he himself was age 21. This rising generation is the first that won’t remember a time before the Internet. Addressing them on their own terms is crucial to any project, commercial or governmental. Here’s how we do it.
There are more than 20 billion connected devices in the world. But less than 50 million people, 1% of 1% of the world, know how these technologies work –and how to make them do something new. Bridging that gap is possible, and part of the solution to many of the world’s biggest problems. Here’s how we do it.
Leading anything with purpose is hard. You make yourself subject to even more stakeholders – as if investors weren’t hard enough. Alex Klein has developed his company through collaboration with British Prime Ministers, the CEOs of the world’s largest companies, Wimbledon-winning athletes, and Kanye West. The reason is a simple framework for working together that anyone can understand and use to benefit not only yourself, but the wider world in which you live. Of note: the role of faith in professional work.
Book Alex Klein as a speaker to inspire your team with his visionary approach to democratising technology and making it accessible to all. Learn from his journey of innovation, from creating award-winning educational tools to collaborating with global giants like Microsoft. Klein's compelling storytelling and unique insights will motivate your audience to think differently and lead with purpose.

Email alex.klein@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Alex's availability and fees. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and a bit about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
