So I like this idea a lot. And honestly, there&#x27;s definitely space for it if it&#x27;s executed well, as long as the web interface is VERY slick, and management is auto-save to the cloud (it has to beat Google Drive in aesthetic and Microsoft in the cloud).<p>I think the thing I&#x27;m having trouble with, quite honestly, is the marketing site itself.<p>A few notes of opinion, but do remember this is purely opinion.<p>1. Is it PitchIt, or Markido PitchIt? The first one works. The second one is confusing. 2. The landing homepage top area feels cramped to me. Additionally, there are three different typefaces, four counting weights, that are fighting for my attention. 3. May want to lose the blue shadow on the play button. 4. The stock photos are a bit distracting, and resultingly aren&#x27;t as effective as if you were to provide simple screenshots, or even a simple infographic. 5. The large crossed out circle (cancel sign?) feels fairly negative, and is one of the first things I see on two separate pages. 6. Overall, the design seems to harken back to a Windows 98 aesthetic for some reason. And, that may actually be totally fine.<p>I certainly don&#x27;t intend to provide negativity, only honest feedback and response. And, as a post-disclaimer, I am fairly sure I am not a part of the target market.

Hi, I&#x27;m Brian, one of the co-founders. We built an internal app to help us show our PowerPoint slides remotely while trying to sell our business app. After consecutive calls where clients only asked about what presentation software we were using and if it was for sale, PitchIt was born.

I hate trying to locate a slide projector and fumbling for the controller. It looks like PitchIt solves the problem with a more impromptu style presentation. I like it!
