Sharing presentations through online tools to your audience is a key tactic in your online marketing strategy – if it’s not, it should be. It is hard to replicate a live presentation and transform it into a valuable online experience, but that’s what 9Slides does.
“The intention is to share a presentation – it is much more than a slide deck – there is a story when it is live, but all that goes missing when you just share slides online” explains Ruchit Garg, Founder and CEO of 9Slides. “9Slides helps professionals share their story in a much more effective way, allowing professionals to easily add their audio or video to their presentation”. 9Slides is transforming the way we share and use presentations online with their delivery platform which allows you to deliver effective, interactive presentations on the device you like to use most.
The idea was born
When asked “How did you come to think of the idea?” Ruchit recalls “While posting presentations online I realized that there is no easy way to create the experience of being there in the presentation room online. I was posting video on video site and slides on other website and trying to make them work together, which was much poorer experience”.
Being a tech entrepreneur Ruchit decided to tackle this problem, faced today by almost a billion presentation users. He explains he was posting more and more information online and wanted to better capture the experience of attending a live presentation. Adding more value to the online audience and more ways to share information was the main motivator that inspired him to start 9Slides.
