Linz, 02.03.2022 - SlideLizard receives one of the popular seats in the current Microsoft Startup Program and therefore gets access to additional resources for further growth.



The "Microsoft for Startups" program, which was newly launched in the middle of last year, is now also picking up speed in Austria. The selection criteria is strict: only innovative technology companies with high growth potential have a chance to be accepted by the jury after a close evaluation. However, SlideLizard's modern software solutions for presentations could convince right at the first attempt and managed to get a place in the Startup Program!


Building on four levels, companies are initially classified according to their stage of development and then receive more support services from Microsoft in each level. Azure credits, software licenses, access to a huge mentor network, and support from technical experts are just some of the services included. As a Level 3 rated ScaleUp, SlideLizard can leverage considerable resources right at the start to drive further growth.

The current 100,000+ monthly interactions via SlideLizard LIVE show that the software is already an important part for customers. In addition, the latest product, SlideLizard CREATOR , will further drive SlideLizard's international distribution through its imminent release in the Microsoft Office Store. The SlideLizard CREATOR ensures, through a company-wide slide library, that all employees in the company always present with the most up-to-date slides and that self-designed presentations also comply with corporate design specifications of the firm.

"The seamless integration of our software suite into the Microsoft ecosystem, such as PowerPoint, is one of our greatest strengths compared to the competition. The inclusion in the Startup Program allows us to further expand this strategic advantage with the support of Microsoft." comments CEO Daniel Amerbauer.

Multi-Agent System

A multi-agent system is a setup in which several autonomous AI agents work together, each handling a specific part of a larger task. The agents can communicate, divide work, and combine their outputs to achieve goals that would be difficult for a single model. Typically, an orchestrator agent coordinates the workflow while specialist agents execute defined subtasks. In enterprise contexts, multi-agent systems allow complex workflows — such as researching a topic, drafting content, checking compliance, and distributing a presentation — to be fully automated.

Online Communication

Online communication encompasses all forms of information exchange that take place over digital networks — including email, instant messaging, video calls, social media, webinars, and collaborative platforms. It has become the dominant mode of professional communication, enabling global teams to collaborate in real time regardless of location. Online communication introduces unique challenges around tone, response time, information overload, and the loss of non-verbal cues, all of which require deliberate attention to maintain clarity and connection.

Manuscript Speech

For a manuscript speech, the speaker has an entire manuscript to read from. The benefit is that, as every single word is scripted, no important parts will be missed. However, speeches that are fully written down often seem unnatural and may bore the audience.
