Miro vs Prezi

2020. Miro lands $50M Series B for digital whiteboard as demand surges



Miro, the creator of a digital whiteboard, is experiencing a significant surge in usage as businesses transition from physical workspaces to remote environments. In light of this, the company has recently announced an impressive $50 million Series B funding round. Miro sets itself apart by being more than just a lightweight add-in typically found in collaboration tools like Zoom or Microsoft Teams. It functions as a platform that integrates with various enterprise tools, much like Slack does for communication. This integration capability allows users to customize the base tool and build integrations with other commonly used tools, tailoring it to the specific needs of their teams or organizations. This approach has proven successful, with Miro reporting profitability and boasting more than 21,000 customers, including 80% of the Fortune 100 companies. Notable customers of Miro include Netflix, Salesforce, PwC, Spotify, Expedia, and Deloitte.


2018. RealtimeBoard, a visual collaboration platform for companies, raises $25M



RealtimeBoard, an effective visual collaboration tool designed for distributed teams, has secured $25 million in Series A funding. The company intends to utilize the additional investment to support its ongoing expansion efforts. This includes enhancing customer acquisition capabilities through the strengthening of sales and marketing teams, as well as fostering growth within its user community. RealtimeBoard aims to develop a comprehensive visual collaboration platform that facilitates digital whiteboarding and serves as a central hub for integrating various collaboration tools utilized by organizations. Notable companies such as Hubspot, Skyscanner, Qlik, Autodesk, Netflix, and Twitter are among RealtimeBoard's esteemed customers, with the platform boasting a user base of 2 million worldwide. The startup generates revenue by offering its software-as-a-service (SaaS) on a per-seat basis for teams or entire companies.


2014. Online presentations service Prezi secures $57M



Prezi, a cloud-based presentation platform, recently secured a significant growth investment of $57 million. In recent years, Prezi has steadily gained momentum, posing a challenge to Microsoft's dominant Powerpoint market share. One of Prezi's standout features is its cloud-based infrastructure, enabling users to deliver presentations from a variety of devices, including browsers, desktops, iPads, and iPhones, while always having access to the most up-to-date version of their work. What sets Prezi apart from traditional presentation software is its emphasis on visual storytelling rather than relying on conventional bullet-point lists. By incorporating images and encouraging creators to weave a compelling narrative, Prezi enhances audience engagement and retention of information. Boasting a user base of 50 million, Prezi has emerged as a popular choice for businesses aiming to persuade clients, attract customers, and facilitate internal training. Esteemed companies like Salesforce, Lufthansa, Marriott, and IBM have already embraced Prezi and become enthusiasts of its innovative approach.


2011. Prezi+iPad - ideal presentations at conferences

We continuously explore innovative ways to leverage iPad (and other tablets) in the Enterprise. As previously mentioned, executives and salespersons who frequently attend business meetings can utilize the iPad as a stylish accessory to impress clients. However, it is important to acknowledge that using the iPad to deliver presentations during these meetings is not commonplace. In such scenarios, a projector or a laptop with a larger screen is more appropriate. On the other hand, at various exhibitions and conferences where numerous partners and customers can be found, the iPad proves to be an ideal solution for delivering on-the-go presentations. Additionally, we are excited to introduce Prezi for iPad, a remarkable presentation tool. We have already reviewed Prezi, which stands out as one of the most original and exciting services for online presentations. When used on the iPad, Prezi delivers an impressive experience. It is worth noting that presentations are not stored on the tablet itself but instead streamed from the Internet. However, this initial version does not support video, animation, and PDF files. Furthermore, it does not offer editing capabilities, serving solely for demonstration purposes.


2009. Prezi - fresh look at the Web presentations



When it comes to presentations, the minimalist style, that is usually more appropriate to business applications - not works so fine. Because you want your audience (potential customers) to say "WOW!". That's why besides the classic presentation apps, such as PowerPoint or Google Presentations, there is number of quite succesful alternative presentation tools such as SlideRocket with its incredible flash effects or Second Life with its virtual 3D auditories. The Hungarian start-up Prezi also belongs to this group. It has already gathered a lot of excited reviews, awards and investments. It's coolest feature is that the entire presentation is placed on one large virtual board, and its demonstration - is navigation on this board with dynamic scaling. ***
