Powtoon is a company which sells cloud-based software (SaaS) for creating animated presentations and animated explainer videos.[1]
Powtoon was founded in January 2012, following a $180k seed round investment in December 2011.[2] The company released a beta version in August 2012 and has seen fast subscriber growth since.[3] In December 2012 Powtoon secured $600,000 investment from Los Angeles-based venture capital firm Startup Minds.[4]
In February 2013 Powtoon introduced a free account option allowing users to create animated videos that can be exported to YouTube. The free videos include the Powtoon branding.
Powtoon is Web-based animation software that allows users to create animated presentations by manipulating pre-created objects, imported images, provided music and user-created voice-overs.[5] Powtoon uses an Apache Flex engine to generate an XML file that can be played in the Powtoon online viewer, exported to YouTube or downloaded as an MP4 file.[3]Hasbi rabbi choir.
