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.

Display duration

Display duration in PowerPoint refers to the length of time a slide remains visible before automatically advancing to the next one. Setting a display duration enables auto-play presentations that run without manual input — useful for kiosks, event loops, or self-running demos. Duration settings are configured per slide in the Transitions panel and can be combined with timing controls on individual animations to choreograph a fully automated presentation sequence.

.pot file extension

A .pot file is a legacy PowerPoint template format used to define reusable styles, layouts, and formatting for presentations. Like its successor .potx, it allows teams to create multiple presentations that share the same visual identity without starting from scratch each time. The .pot format was replaced by .potx in Office 2007, which introduced an open XML-based structure for improved compatibility.

Agentic Enterprise

An Agentic Enterprise is an organization in which AI agents autonomously handle entire workflows — including thinking, deciding, and communicating — on behalf of teams. Rather than using AI as a passive assistant, the Agentic Enterprise embeds autonomous agents into its core processes: data updates, content production, and stakeholder communication all happen with minimal human input. The concept represents a shift from AI-assisted work to AI-orchestrated operations.
