About Us: The AhaSlides Origin Story
It's 2019, and our founder, Dave, is sitting through yet another mind-numbing presentation. As his eyelids droop, he has a lightbulb moment (or was it a caffeine-induced hallucination?). "What if presentations could be... fun?"
And just like that, AhaSlides was born.
Our Mission
We're on a quest to make the world a little less boring, one slide at a time. Our mission is to transform mundane meetings and lectures into interactive, two-way conversations that'll have your audience begging for more (yes, really!)
From New York to New Delhi, Tokyo to Timbuktu, AhaSlides is helping presenters wow audiences worldwide. We've helped create over 2 million 'aha!' moments (and counting)!
2 Million Users Worldwide Have Created Lasting Engagement with AhaSlides
What is AhaSlides?
AhaSlides is a software tool designed to make presentations, meetings, and educational sessions more engaging and interactive. Users can add interactions between slides such as real-time polls, quizzes, word clouds, and Q&A sessions to create dynamic, participatory experiences for their audiences.
Don't the shy and marginalised deserve a voice? AhaSlides allows every user and audience member on our platform the chance to be heard. That's something we extend to our own team, too.
We appreciate what we have. Sure, we're not the biggest tool in the box, and our team aren't Silicon Valley superstars, but we love where we are. We thank our users and teammates daily for that.
Us humans need fun and connection; we think having both is the recipe for a joyous life. That's why we built both into AhaSlides. Hey, it makes our users happy. That's really our biggest motivator.
We love to learn. Each member of the team gets access to their own Mr. Miyagi, a mentor that can teach them to catch flies with chopsticks and grow into exactly the kind of team member and person they want to be.
No kiwis (bird nor fruit) in the office. How many times do we have to tell you guys? Yes James, your pet kiwi, Maris, is very cute, but dude the floor is full of her feathers and droppings. Sort it out.
What Makes Us Tick (Besides Coffee and Cool Animations)
- User-first: Your success is our success. Your confusion is our... time to make things clearer!
- Continuous improvement: We're always learning. Mostly about slides, but sometimes about obscure trivia too.
- Fun: If it's not fun, we're not interested. Life's too short for boring software!
