Mentimeter

Mentimeter is a Stockholm company whose presentation software turns a slide deck into a two-way session — live polls, word clouds and quizzes the audience answers from their phones. Founded in 2014, it opened a Toronto sales office in 2021 that became its North American base.

About

Mentimeter's product exists to fix the thing every presenter notices: a room that has stopped listening. Presenters build interactive slides; the audience answers on their own devices and the results appear live. Four founders started it in Stockholm in 2014, and by the end of 2021 more than 270 million voters and 14 million presenters had used it. It opened a Toronto office in autumn 2021 and expanded it as its North American headquarters. Tobias Porserud, who runs North America, demoed the product at TechTO in March 2024.
