San Francisco, CA – WEBWIRE

Matik, a platform that makes it easy to create personalized Google Slides or Powerpoint presentations for customers today announced $3 million in seed funding led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Box Group and Oceans Ventures. As part of the funding, Naomi Ionita, partner at Menlo Ventures, will join the Matik Board of Directors. 

Matik makes teams more efficient by eliminating the time-intensive process of putting together decks and proposals manually for each customer or client. By speeding up the process, Matik empowers teams to focus on more strategic work that delivers results for the business. Matik pulls directly from a company’s own data sources so information is always up-to-date, enabling the right presentation to be generated for the right occasion with the latest data and brand guidelines.

“We streamlined our quarterly business review process by 85 percent. It used to take us hours to put together a data-driven presentation for a client, but now it takes us minutes with Matik,” said Quentin Bosman, Manager of Customer Success at Envoy.

“Matik has been game changing for our business. Out of all the platforms we use, it has driven the most time savings for our customer success organization,” said John Gleeson, Head of Customer Success at KeepTruckin. “We have increased account coverage and are now able to create tailored ROI narratives for all of our customers instead of just a select few. This has led to a significant increase in our NPS scores and improved customer retention across all segments.”

Matik provides three key benefits:

  • Time Savings — What used to take teams several hours to put together for each client, now takes minutes with Matik. Content is dynamic so presentations are completely editable after they’re generated.
  • Data Integration — Matik seamlessly connects PowerPoint or Google Slide templates to the most commonly-used data sources, including Redshift, MySQL, Snowflake, Presto, Postgres, Looker, Salesforce, a Google Sheet, or even a custom API.
  • Content Management — Easily create and manage a library of templates for all the different touchpoints in the customer lifecycle to empower your teams with data-driven narratives at scale. 


“It shouldn’t take hours for a rep to put together a data-driven presentation for a customer,” said Nikola Mijic, co-founder and CEO of Matik. “Our mission is to enable organizations to automate the process, so reps can spend more time interfacing with clients and less time on tedious tasks like putting together quarterly business reviews, pricing proposals, and renewal decks.”

“Matik is automating away a really painful process for sales and customer success teams. ROI is tangible too by saving time and increasing logo coverage,” said Naomi Ionita, partner at Menlo Ventures. “We believe Nik and Zak are the right people to solve this problem and are thrilled to be partnering with them and the entire Matik team.”

Matik was co-founded in 2019 by Mijic and CTO Zak Stein. Prior to Matik, Mijic was at LinkedIn where he was building out similar internal tools that supported the sales team. After having a series of conversations with people in his network, he realized that personalized content and data-driven narratives played a key role in increasing rep productivity, and he wanted to bring this tooling to market. Stein spent most of his career at Box where he was an early engineering hire and helped architect and build many of Box’s key content management features. Together, the two bring a depth of experience building dynamic internal products at scale.

About Matik
Matik automates the creation of personalized data-driven presentations by connecting to the appropriate data sources and transforming content from static to dynamic - whether it be text, charts, images, tables, etc. Types of presentations today include quarterly business reviews, pricing proposals, and one-pagers, which usually take sales and customer success reps hours to construct per account, driven by extensive number-crunching, painstaking formatting, and data pulling from various disparate sources such as CRMs (Salesforce), BI/visualization tools (Looker), and data warehouses (Redshift, BigQuery, Snowflake, etc.). With Matik, what used to take hours is reduced to minutes. Matik delivers ROI by not only reducing the time it takes for employees to generate presentations but also allows for expansion in account coverage. For more information, please visit matik.io.
