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.

Process Questions

Process questions ask participants to explain how something works, how a decision was made, or how a result was reached — rather than simply what the answer is. They focus on reasoning, methodology, and the steps taken to arrive at an outcome. In training, coaching, and facilitated workshops, process questions help participants reflect on their thinking and deepen their understanding. They are more cognitively demanding than recall questions and are effective for developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
