Description:
PPTLinks is a software that would replace projectors in all seminars, boardrooms, and classes around the world. It is an online presentation platform to help individuals and organizations share ideas both physically and in remote online presentations. Presentations can be recorded, saved, downloaded, and made into online courses with PPTLinks. The basic concept is simple: everyone has a screen in their hands, so why not make this their personal projector!
Stage of Innovation: MVP (You have a product ready to go to the market)
Problem:
Picture yourself as a student sitting in 1000 seater auditorium. You find yourself at the second-to-last row, a distance from the lecturer who is projecting their content at the front of the room. However, with the aid of PPTLinks, your smartphone becomes a valuable companion, a portable screen that seamlessly guides you through each slide in perfect harmony with your lecturer's presentation. Later that week, you turn to the PPTLinks website to download the lecture slides. Saving you from the unnecessary expense of acquiring physical handouts. In addition to the lecture slides, you discover a collection of seminar presentations from the previous year's graduates, which you eagerly download as you prepare for your own seminar, allowing you to excel.
Unique Selling Point: After testing our MVP, the most amazing and industry-changing feedback we received, apart from the beauty of turning everyone's screen into their personal projector, was the realization that PPTLinks reduces the skill requirements for creating high-quality online courses. This opens up the industry to even more individual professionals who possess niche knowledge and are willing to share it with the younger generation, providing them with a side income. Many professionals, in particular, have been asking if they can record their voice over their presentations and then sell them on our platform as online courses. They are amazed because platforms like Udemy and Coursera typically require technical knowledge of video editing, lighting, proper audio setup, and the like, which often discourage these busy professionals from attempting to create such courses.
