Our take
Prezi is a cloud presentation platform that empowers people who want rid of the static slide-based approach to public speaking, instead wanting a way to express their thoughts and ideas in a more natural and engaged manner.
Prezi has been coined Powerpoint for a more visually demanding audience, and has been slowly eating away at Microsoft’s market share. Unlike its main competitor’s linear series of slides, Prezi’s software is designed to create free-flowing presentations that move between pockets of information and zoom in and out on graphics, carving a unique position in the market by recognising that humans don’t think in a logical, chronological order.
Over the years, Prezi has become a leader in the space and has accrued impressive customers, including Salesforce, Lufthansa, Marriott, and IBM. The company is constantly evolving, frequently adding new and innovative features, such as Prezi Video - the first-to-market software of its kind - for its over 100 million users to play with. Recently it has also added integrations to Zoom, WebEx and Teams in a bid to make further inroads into the business presentation market.
