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.

E-Lecture

An e-lecture is a recorded or live-streamed lecture delivered digitally, typically as video content that learners can watch on any device. E-lectures replicate the structure of traditional academic lectures but remove geographic and scheduling constraints. They are common in university distance learning programs, corporate training platforms, and MOOCs. E-lectures are often paired with supplementary materials, quizzes, or discussion forums to maintain engagement and assess comprehension.

Slide transitions

Slide transitions are visual effects that play when moving from one slide to the next during a PowerPoint presentation. They range from simple fades and cuts to more elaborate animations like wipes, pushes, and morph effects. Used thoughtfully, transitions can reinforce the flow of a narrative and add polish to a presentation. Overusing dramatic transitions, however, can distract from the content. Consistency — using the same transition style throughout — is generally recommended for professional presentations.

Recall Questions

Recall questions ask participants to retrieve and state information they have previously learned or been told. They test memory and knowledge retention rather than understanding or analysis. In training sessions and educational presentations, recall questions at the end of a segment can reinforce key points and check how much the audience has absorbed. While they don't assess deeper comprehension, they are an efficient tool for checking baseline knowledge and reinforcing core facts.

AI Orchestration

AI orchestration is the coordination of multiple AI agents, tools, and data sources to complete a complex, multi-step workflow. An orchestration layer acts as a conductor: it decides which agent handles which task, in what order, and how outputs are passed between steps — following the same logic as an orchestrator agent. In enterprise communication, AI orchestration enables end-to-end automation — gathering data, structuring content, applying brand guidelines, and publishing a final presentation — all without human handoffs between each stage.
