At Chronicle, we are designing the presentation experience that the future deserves ✨
The problem
Slide based presentations are slow, boring and quite frustrating!
1.5 billion+ people spend countless hours on presentations today. Presentations haven't changed much since the 80s. They are time consuming, monotonous, and frustrating. People expect a lightning fast, delightful, and engaging experience. This is why we believe it's time to leave slides behind...
The solution
We are designing the future of storytelling Fast. Easy. Always stunning.
Chronicle is doing to presentations what Notion did to docs. We are not making better software to create slides, we are fundamentally reimagining the format by taking away the design burden, making it interactive and creating a seamless experience for remote work.
Presentations have been a consistent theme in our lives for the last decade.
Here is our story of starting Chronicle.

Why did you start Chronicle?
As consultants, we have deeply felt the frictions associated with presentations. We see a lot of our friends, colleagues going through the same friction. We genuinely think that, we deserve a better way to tell stories at work. This is why we are building Chronicle.
Read more about our journey and why we are building Chronicle here Our journey so far
Where is Chronicle located?
Chronicle is a US based company but it exists on the internet. We have been remote from day one. The team is located across Australia, India, and USA.
We believe remote working is the future and have already adopted processes and tools that help us work efficiently without stretching ourselves.
How do you work remotely?
We are remote from day one and we are highly supportive of remote employment. We encourage you to work from wherever you want.
Here is how we manage working across timezones, together, remotely:
We also provide highly attractive perks to support you work when working remotely. We want to ensure you have a great experience working on Chronicle.
What is the work life balance at Chronicle?
We work flexibly and make room to live our lives comfortably and happily. We fundamentally believe that working in a fast paced startup doesn't have to mean that you sacrifice your work life balance.
At Chronicle we truly invest in your well being and help you relax when you need to. With flex hours, wind down allowance, staycations and much more, we genuinely care.
Most importantly, we believe you should enjoy each day at work - this is why we are looking for people who are genuinely driven to build a great future of work tool.
Have you raised money? How much?
We are lucky to be backed by some of the best investors in the world.
We have raised a $2.5M pre-seed round led by Accel, a top tier silicon valley venture capital fund. We recently closed our $5M seed round led by SquarePeg.
In addition to Accel and SquarePeg, we are supported by a set of angel investors who played a pivotal role in some of our favourite software companies over the years like Facebook, Google, Superhuman, Apple, Slack, Lattice, Intercom, Product Hunt and more.
We are quite well set up from a capital standpoint to not only confidently go through the next 2-4 years of a tough raising environment but to accelerate on our mission to build a world class product, attract world class talent and build a strong foundation.
How will Chronicle make money?
Chronicle follows a subscription based business model. While personal use will be free, pro users and enterprises will pay a fixed subscription per month/year for using premium features of Chronicle.
How large is the opportunity?
Chronicle is playing in the fast growing $20-30B presentation software market. With 1.2-1.5B presentation software users, the addressable market is significant.
As a starting point, we aim to target modern tech teams that form a 40-50M target user group. This represents ~$1B obtainable market.
How is Chronicle different from existing solutions?
The most important distinction between Chronicle and existing tools in the market is: We are not slides. We are a novel storytelling format.
Canva, Google Slides, Pitch and many other players are making amazing tools to create slides faster, better. But they are constrained by the .pptx format. We are not a tool that creates slides - we are a completely new medium that enables block based creation (like Notion) and bite sized delightful consumption (like Instagram stories).
Chronicle is differentiated because:
- Interactive storytelling: Chronicle is a first of its kind, integrated presentation tool that allows users to create interactive stories that capture audience inputs, questions and improves engagement.
- High efficiency from no-design process: While other tools provide users with immense design choice which leads to low efficiency, Chronicle is fast since formatting and design doesn't get in the way.
- Designed for the remote world: While slides were designed for in-person presentations, Chronicle is designed to work for remote collaborative teams. This is why Chronicle's presentation mode has an integrated audio/video functionality with a live share mode.
Who are the customers?
Chronicle is a horizontal tool built for modern, collaborative teams. As a starting point we are targeting cross functional product teams. Our core target users are teams that use tools like Slack, Notion, Invision, Figma and have already made the leap away from traditional presentations.
We outlined our customer segments and use cases across each of the segment (Fig. a). As a starting point we are focused on internal showcase use cases.

What stage is the product at?
Chronicle is currently in private beta. We have started onboarding our first few users on the platform and we are working hard to capture their inputs and build a tool that they fall in love with.
We are conscious that building a tool like this needs a balance between speed of delivery and excruciating attention to detail. We want to build a tool that our users love - this will need time and patience. We aim to be in private beta over the next year before we release to the public.
Below is a glimpse of the positive response from some of our very early potential users:

How will we reach our customers (what is our go-to-market strategy?)
We aim to drive customer adoption using the product-led-growth playbook. Since presentations are inherently collaborative, we drive discovery and adoption through collaboration and exposure to audience.
Fig. b. shows our adoption and discovery flywheel.

We currently have a strong waitlist of users keen on trying Chronicle. We will continue to build out this waitlist while we perfect the product and then start a strategically concerted GTM motion.
