66: How PowToon Scaled to 10 Million Users with Ilya Spitalnik
In 2012, four friends met in a cafe to solve a problem: How can you communicate a message without putting your audience to sleep, or driving them to check Facebook under the table during your presentation? The answer seemed simple – how about one of those great animated videos! But working with an animation studio can take weeks and cost thousands of dollars. And so our four friends decided, right then and there, to create a tool that everyone can use when they need their message to make an impact and when they can’t afford to be ignored. PowToon was born.
