The second is that the results are usually unappealing and static. The first is that creating slides is time consuming because many presentation tools expect users to be visual designers, and most are not. The two-year-old startup announced today it has raised $7.5 million in seed funding from Accel and Square Peg, along with angel investors from Apple, Google, Meta, Slack, Stripe, Superhuman, OnDeck and Adobe.Ĭhronicle founders Mayuresh Patole and Tejas GawandeĬhronicle was created to solve two main problems. The experience is meant to be as simple as arranging widgets on an iPhone, and the founders say decks can be created in just eight minutes.Īs expected, Patole and Gawande used Chronicle to build their pitch deck for fundraising. Co-founded with Tejas Gawande, the startup’s goal is to make building attention-grabbing presentations as easy as dragging and dropping interactive, pre-designed blocks. Sydney- and San Francisco-based Chronicle was born as a result. But he found that creating good presentations took hours of work and was especially difficult for people without a visual design background. He says he loved PowerPoint and before becoming a founder, spent 10 years building presentations, including stints teaching university students how to make engaging ones, and then at his first job at a consultant at BCG. But that’s not the case with Mayuresh Patole, the CEO of Chronicle. You would expect the co-founder of a startup that improves on traditional slide presentations to hate tools like PowerPoint.
