Pitch offers an online presentation platform designed for creation, collaboration and distribution, positioning itself as a more dynamic alternative to legacy tools. The company says it is used by tens of thousands of teams and that users have created some 125,000 workspaces on the platform. Pitch operates a freemium model with a Pitch Pro tier at $10/user/month; Pro already has a “couple of thousand” subscribers, which the company cites as proof that the business model is working. Product road‑map items include an ecosystem for user-uploaded templates and presentations (initially curated by Pitch), presentation analytics (opt-in only), expanded video recording and live presentation features, and experiments to publish presentations as simple websites. Pitch is also working on an enterprise edition to target larger deployments and convert more users to paid plans. The company emphasizes a privacy-first approach to analytics given its German roots. Pitch is a Berlin-based startup that launched a collaborative presentation application after trialling the product with 25,000 teams. The product embeds slide decks in a shared workspace and adds task assignment, commenting and on-screen video bubbles that enable impromptu calls. Speakers appear in video bubbles to let audiences focus on slides without screen-sharing issues. Pitch offers a free tier and a premium plan at $10 per seat per month that includes video uploads and slide-level analytics. An enterprise version is in development. Founder and CEO Christian Reber previously built and sold Wunderlist to Microsoft in 2015 for a reported $100–200 million and left Microsoft in 2017 before starting Pitch. Pitch is building a web-based presentation platform and light apps intended as a modern alternative to PowerPoint, with reading and interaction not requiring software licenses and a paid creator tier planned as the core monetization. The company launched an invite-only closed beta to gather usage data and feedback before a broader release. Founders include Christian Reber and several Wunderlist alumni, and the team has been building the first version since last October. Pitch aims to rethink entrenched presentation workflows and integrate with other productivity tools, taking inspiration from recent design and collaboration advances. Demand is strong: thousands of companies have expressed interest in the limited preview. Financially, Pitch has disclosed recent funding that adds to an earlier round and is being used to fuel product development and beta expansion. Pitch is developing a presentation tool aimed at the “Slack generation,” treating slides as living documents that integrate with other apps and update as source data changes. The product includes social and distribution features so users can share presentations with selected groups or wider Pitch audiences. It is built on Electron to provide cross-platform consistency and is described as design-driven with an emphasis on aesthetics. The team is led by Christian Reber and several founders from Wunderlist and includes about 12 other employees; the app is in private beta with a few businesses. Pitch projects a public launch in summer 2019. The company announced a $19M Series A and has raised $22M to date.
