Robyn Exton's biography

At a glance

  • Founder of HER dating app for LGBTQ+ womxn
  • Creator of London Queer Fashion Show
  • Tech editor at Elle UK

Robyn Exton, a brand design and strategy professional, noticed a significant gap in the market for LGBTQ+ womxn and queer individuals. In response, she created HER, the first dating app specifically designed for LGBTQ+ womxn.


Since its inception in London, HER has expanded to connect queer womxn worldwide, with 7 million users in 113 countries. Additionally, HER hosts events in 15 cities, attracting 50,000 attendees annually. The company relocated to San Francisco after receiving investment from prominent Silicon Valley investors through Y Combinator.


While organising events for HER, Exton observed the growth of queer fashion platforms and recognised the need for a similar platform in London. This led to the creation of the London Queer Fashion Show, which showcases LGBTQ+ designers and promotes inclusivity in the fashion industry.


Robyn's background includes contributing as a tech editor at Elle UK and serving on the board of The Yacht Week and Ski Week, focusing on connecting people through travel and adventure tourism. Her speeches often revolve around inclusivity and creating products and services catering to diverse identities.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

No, PepTalk doesn't charge a booking fee. You pay the speaker's fee plus any travel and expenses, which PepTalk confirms upfront in your quote. The shortlist, contracting and event-day logistics are included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.

What happens after I send a brief?

PepTalk sends a shortlist of matched speakers within 24 hours, each with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. The more you share about your date, audience, format, objectives and budget, the closer the match. Once you choose, PepTalk handles the contract, travel and logistics through to event day.

What does the typical fee range mean?

The typical fee range on a PepTalk speaker profile is a guide to what that speaker usually costs for an in-person event in their home market, shown in their local currency. The final fee depends on format, location, date and session length. Virtual and shorter sessions usually cost less, and international travel and peak dates cost more. PepTalk confirms the exact fee in your currency once it has your brief.

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

No. PepTalk represents 15,000+ speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers, some booked directly and others through their agents and agencies worldwide. The process is the same for all of them: PepTalk checks availability, negotiates the fee and manages the contract and logistics.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

Book a speaker three to six months before your event. Allow 12 months for large conferences, peak-season dates or a specific in-demand name. PepTalk also fills last-minute and replacement bookings, often within days, so get in touch as soon as you have a date, even at short notice.
