Stick
At Stick, we have an ambitious vision: improve how people communicate by empowering anyone to share ideas through visuals.
Why now? Because people don’t read anymore. Audio, visuals, and video are replacing text as the go-to medium of communication. In life, we share photos. But at work, people need to know how to design if they want to translate their ideas from text into visuals - and only 1% have those skills.
Stick closes that gap for the other 99% - with a communication visualization engine that turns words into visuals automatically - using NLP, a universal visual design system, and ML.
Why join us?
We built a growing waitlist community of 2500+ B2B customers pre-product, and are co-creating the product now with early adopters before launch.
Top VC investors - the same leaders behind rocketship companies like Figma, Dropbox, Facebook, and Canva - backed us in an oversubscribed pre-seed round (+33% beyond target).
Second-time founder from Stanford, IDEO, and top-tier management consulting experience from Bain & Co.
