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.

Computer Based Training (CBT)

Computer-based training (CBT) refers to self-paced educational programs delivered through software on a computer, without requiring an internet connection or live instructor. CBT packages typically include multimedia content, simulations, and assessments. This format was widely adopted in the 1990s and 2000s as an alternative to classroom training, offering consistency and repeatability. Today, CBT is largely succeeded by web-based training (WBT), though it remains in use where internet access is limited or security is a concern.

Game-based Learning

Game-based learning (GBL) uses game mechanics — such as points, levels, challenges, and rewards — to deliver educational content in an engaging format. Games motivate learners through competition, narrative, and immediate feedback, making them particularly effective for skill practice and knowledge reinforcement. Game-based learning ranges from simple quiz games to complex simulations and serious games developed for specific professional training scenarios.

Horizontal Communication

Horizontal communication flows between people at the same level within an organization — for example, between colleagues in the same department or team leaders across different departments. It facilitates coordination, knowledge sharing, and collaborative problem-solving without the need for information to travel up and down the hierarchy. Effective horizontal communication reduces bottlenecks, breaks down silos, and is essential for cross-functional project work and agile organizational structures.

Multimedia Presentation

A multimedia presentation combines multiple types of content — such as text, images, audio, video, animations, and interactive elements — into a single cohesive slide deck or digital experience. By engaging more senses, multimedia presentations improve audience attention and retention compared to text-heavy slides. They are used in marketing, training, education, and corporate communications. Modern presentation tools make it straightforward to integrate diverse media types, though content balance and loading performance remain important considerations.
