Continue on to learn about the problems of today’s market, and how we plan to address them with our new product.
Every day, millions of people…
- Give a presentation
- Share information with an audience
- Tell a story
People tell stories and share information with one another countless times a day. A common example of that is at conferences and events, where speakers share valuable knowledge and insight with an audience, typically aided by a deck of slides.
But even the
best talks
lose their value
when shared online
Online slides can convey a confusing, conflicting or simply incomplete message. They may show an example without explaining what’s good or bad about it, or a clean visual that supports a point but doesn’t make it.
The better the talk or presentation, the cleaner and simpler the slides — and the more the slides depend on the narrative around them to be of value.
Why?
Slides alone are rarely the full product; they serve a complementary purpose to the talk being given by the speaker. When slides are shared online, the speaker is absent, and the story is missing.
Without that narrative, we lose context and value. Audio and video help, but are costly to produce in a way that provides great value, and the experience often ends up feeling disjointed.

The Market
75–500 Million desktop users
Between Powerpoint, Keynote and OpenOffice, there are at least 75 million desktop users of presentation software, although that is a conservative estimate.
The Market
20+ Million cloud users
- 75–500 Million desktop users
In addition to desktop software users, there are upwards of 20 million people using cloud-based software of some sort to present or share their presentations.
The Market
More than 50% are paying users
- 20+ Million cloud users
- 75–500 Million desktop users
Of all users combined, more than half are paying customers. A large share of that is Enterprise customers, from small businesses to the very largest corporations in the world.
The Market
Plenty of players…
…but no great experiences.
The presentation software market is huge, and a number of companies compete for a share of it. But none have a great end-to-end experience, and most don’t even offer a great experience on any level.
The Market
Or in ‘startup lingo’:
This market is ripe for disruption!
There is a huge opportunity for a great end-to-end experience to reshape this market. From the moment you start putting a deck together to the point where you share it with others, however you do so, the experience can be significantly improved.
The Product
A better, more powerful, more accessible, and, (dare we say it) innovative interface.
Presentation software, like every other productivity software, suffers from a “binary proposition” problem: feature bloat makes the interface overwhelming, but simplification often reduces value to experienced users. We have a solution.
The Product
A sharing platform where content doesn’t lose the bulk of its value…
Whether we want to share our slides with the public or a limited, private audience, the only way we can do so without the slides losing value is through an expensive, time-consuming, carefully edited video. Our sharing platform solves that problem.
The Product
…and where content is accessible from any device.
PDFs can be accessible, but rarely are so. By creating slides in a semantic, highly accessible structure right in the browser, we can offer content in ways that can be read on all devices, everywhere.
The Business
Freemium model
- No account needed to try it out
- Free accounts to save your first presentation
- Paid accounts for more features, storage
Early-stage business models shouldn’t be set in stone, but we have solid ideas about ours. We also believe that the ability to “try before you buy” is critical on the Web.
The Business
No account needed
One-click access to the app allows people to try it with no friction
Thanks to being a fully web-based product, the only things needed to give our product a try are a modern browser and an Internet connection.
The Business
Free accounts
- No control over ads, page (“channel”) design
- Limited features, capacity for content
Being able to create a deck for free, without even signing up, gives us a chance to showcase our innovative UI and workflow. Free accounts let you save that work and present it to an audience, but you’ll have limited storage ability.
The Business
Paid accounts
- Extensive control over ads, page design
- Unlimited features, more & unlimited capacity
Paid accounts will come in one, two or three flavors, depending on research we will conduct during private alpha and beta periods. Features, control over ads and more will be offered accordingly.
