Adam Renklint is a co-founder of Pitch Software GmbH in Berlin. He built the company with Christian Reber, who had earlier founded Wunderlist, the to-do app Microsoft bought in 2015.
Pitch set out to replace the desktop slide deck. The product made collaboration native, with sharing, comments and version history. BlueYard Capital backed a seed round of about $3 million in 2018, and a Series A of about $19 million followed.
In October 2019 Pitch raised a $30 million Series B with Thrive Capital and Index Ventures. In May 2021 it raised $85 million from Lakestar and Tiger Global at a valuation of about $600 million. By then about 125,000 workspaces used the product.
Pitch competes with Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides, Canva and newer AI presentation tools such as Gamma. The company is privately held.
