Presentations have defined entire industries and architected how organizations work. Yet for decades we’ve been stuck with the same tools. Pitch is a new beginning. An open platform for presentations and content collaboration. A new paradigm to improve the way presentations are crafted and knowledge is shared.
We are a senior team funded by Index Ventures, BlueYard, and Slack.
