I use Google Slides _a ton_ and having a web based alternative is definitely interesting. Since I'm not a Mac user I've definitely yearned for Keynote-like animations etc. so this could be really useful.
That said, something here doesn't seem to add up to me. Pitch is launching now, two years after being founded by seven founders, raised 50M(!) in funding and has 89 employees?
I can't figure out why
1. they didn't launch sooner
2. why they need so many people
3. why it's a freemium model
4. How they _already_ raised $50M.
It looks like a cool product and I might sign up to play around but something doesn't add up.
- cecja 6y agoThis is their public launch they are well underway for over a year. They are also the core creators of wunderlist.
- xenospn 6y agoI remember their raise announcement - I also remember not exactly understanding why you'd need $50M to build a web-based presentation software (plenty of those exist and I'm almost certain none of them raised anything even close). And now that I read they have close to 100 employees before launching I'm even more confused.
- fasteo 6y agoThis. I have always thought that investors have a half-baked exit deal before putting their money into these start-ups.
