Mentimeter

Mentimeter is the Stockholm-based platform’s interactive presentation product. Speakers build slides that include live polls, word clouds, open Q&A, quizzes, and rating scales, and audiences respond from any device in real time using a short code.

Educators, internal-comms teams, and conference speakers use it as a European alternative to Google Slides and PowerPoint for sessions where audience engagement matters more than pixel-perfect slide design. Buyers compare it on real-time scale, question-type breadth, EU data hosting, and how it integrates with PowerPoint, Teams, and Zoom.

Mentimeter is a Stockholm-based interactive presentation platform founded in 2014 by Johnny Warström and Niklas Ingvar. Mentimeter AB (publ) remains majority-controlled by its founders, with Bure Equity (a Stockholm-listed PE firm) and GP Bullhound Fund VI as the largest external shareholders following secondaries in 2021 and 2024 — no US/CN parent.

The product blends slideware with live audience interaction: speakers build decks that include polls, word clouds, Q&A, quizzes, and rating scales, and audiences vote from any device in real time. It is widely used in classrooms, corporate town halls, and conferences as a European alternative to Google Slides and PowerPoint with built-in audience-response features.
