Our take

On a mission to help tell stories, Tome uses artificial intelligence to help turn users’ ideas into a more compelling visual narrative. It is considered in many ways like a more stagnant PowerPoint presentation, enabling users to easily create visual stories through layouts and images.

The product has experienced expansive and varied uptake, being used to close new business, prepare design portfolios, articulate brand vision, and create lesson plans, to name but a few. It stands out for generating full visual narratives with ease; users simply type in a prompt and hit enter, taking away the trials and tribulations that often come with a presentation.

The company is very green but just six months after its founding in mid-2022, it had already accrued more than one million users - the fastest productivity tool to do so - that ranged from students and teachers to go-to-market teams. 2023 series B funding will be used to add more value for its growing community.
