Mentimeter (or Menti for short) is a Swedish company based in Stockholm that develops and maintains an eponymous app used to create presentations with real-time feedback.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Foundation and background

[edit]

Based in Stockholm, Sweden, the Mentimeter app was started by Swedish entrepreneur Johnny Warström[9] and Niklas Ingvar[9] as a response to unproductive meetings.[10] The initial start up budget was $500,000 raised by a group of prominent investors, including Per Appelgren in 2014, following the market's tendency to invest in Scandinavia.[11][12]

The app also focuses on online collaboration for the education sector allowing students or public members to answer questions anonymously.[13][14][15]

The app enables users to share knowledge and real-time feedback on mobile[6] with presentations, polls or brainstorming sessions in classes, meetings, gatherings, conferences and other group activities.[13][16]

Achievements

[edit]

By 2021, Mentimeter had over 270 million users and was one of Sweden's fastest growing startups.[17][2][18] The company also ranked #10 on 20 Fastest Growing 500 Startups Batch 16 Companies.[19][20][21][22] It was ranked Stockholm's fastest growing company of the 2018 edition of the DI Gasell Award.[23][24]

Mentimeter has a freemium business model.[25] [26][27][28]
