Press Kit

Resources for journalists and media covering Wellspoken.

“I built Wellspoken because I struggled with the same things you just described. I knew exactly what I wanted to say, but when I opened my mouth, it came out scattered.”

Most speaking advice tells you to “slow down and think.” That’s like telling someone to “just hit the ball” in tennis. Wellspoken gives you the reps, the feedback, and the frameworks to actually improve in 5 minutes a day.

We’re a small team pouring everything into this. We focus on product depth, fast feedback, and a practical system people can use every day to become better communicators.

The Builders

Liam D., Founder

Wellspoken was built by Liam D., a product engineer and Cornell University graduate (Computer Science and Human Development). Before building Wellspoken, Liam worked at Palantir on AIP Logic, their LLM-powered function builder, and co-founded Lawnstack through the Alchemist Accelerator.

His dual background in computer science and human development drives Wellspoken’s approach: applying cognitive science research to the real mechanics of how people organize and deliver thoughts under pressure.

Felix Y.

Felix Y. is a UC Berkeley computer science graduate who has worked as a software engineer at Netflix. A varsity debater in high school, Felix competed in Lincoln-Douglas and Parliamentary debate on the Bay Area circuit as a non-native English speaker. That firsthand experience of learning to articulate under pressure, in a second language, shapes how he thinks about Wellspoken’s mission of making communication coaching accessible to everyone.
