Presentations are a widely used tool across education, business, and creative industries, yet most platforms focus only on creating or sharing slides. There’s an opportunity to enhance the performance aspect of presentations—where presenters can engage audiences dynamically, receive real-time feedback, and foster collaboration beyond static slides. Current tools often treat presentations as passive documents or one-way broadcasts, missing the potential for interaction, storytelling, and community engagement.

Key Features and Audience

The proposed platform could blend slide-sharing with live audience interaction, offering features like:

Live and recorded presentations: Users could host real-time sessions or upload pre-recorded talks with synchronized slides and narration.
Interactive tools: Polls, Q&A, and timestamped feedback lets audiences engage meaningfully during or after presentations.
Community spaces: Topic-based forums where users discuss presentations, share insights, and collaborate.

This would cater to educators (hosting lectures), professionals (pitching ideas), and creatives (showcasing portfolios) who need dynamic ways to present and refine their work.

How It Fits Into the Market

Unlike SlideShare (static slides) or Zoom (generic meetings), the platform would specialize in presentation performance. It could integrate with tools like PowerPoint or YouTube for ease of use while adding unique value—timestamped feedback for presenters, engagement analytics, and niche communities.

Steps to Launch

A stripped-down version (MVP) might start with recorded presentations and comments, using existing video hosts like Vimeo. Later phases could add live streaming (via Zoom/Twitch APIs) and monetization (e.g., premium features for analytics). To test assumptions, a waitlist or pilot community (e.g., a Discord server) could gauge interest before full development.

By focusing on interactivity and feedback, this platform could fill a gap between slide-sharing and webinar tools—turning presentations into collaborative experiences.
