LOS ALTOS, Calif., Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Prezent, the Enterprise Business Storytelling Platform, announced today multiple key milestones achieved in 2024 and unveiled its strategic investments for 2025. From helping organizations streamline communication to launching AI innovations and securing fresh capital, Prezent has cemented its place as a game-changer in business storytelling.

2024: A Year of Exceptional Growth and Real Customer Impact

Prezent’s all-in-one platform has earned widespread adoption in business communication – particularly in the BioPharma and Tech-Telecom industries. Over 100 Fortune 2000 companies across industries have unlocked unprecedented efficiency and impact using Prezent’s AI technology.

“We interface with multiple cross-functional teams to effectively communicate complex topics that people within the org are not necessarily familiar with—it’s important that we have a very clear and concise message and story for our audience to follow,” said Alex Bitting, Senior leader at Alnylam Pharmaceuticals. “On average, annual cost savings could be anywhere from $30,000 to $50,000 per person. Depending on the amount of time spent each day building presentations—it could be even higher.”

Dozens of companies have rolled out Prezent AI and supplementary Overnight Presentation services at the enterprise level and are seeing significant ROI. This impact is reflected in a 70+ NPS, 100%+ increase in users and 200%+ increase in cost savings in 2024.

2025 Investments: Shaping the Future of Business Communication

Prezent is committed to maintaining momentum with transformative initiatives for 2025, including product innovation (including industry-based AI models), geographic and industry expansion and strengthening the leadership team.

Introducing ASTRID and Contextual Intelligence

Prezent proudly announces the launch of ASTRID, the first-of-its-kind contextually intelligent AI for Business Communication designed to simplify and accelerate content and slide creation. ASTRID, a proprietary technology, delivers four levels of contextual intelligence to enhance business storytelling and communication, making it more efficient and effective. It tailors tone, slide design, and communication style based on four key dimensions: industry, company, team, and individual. This personalization ensures that every presentation is crafted to resonate with its intended audience in order to maximize impact.

“ASTRID represents our vision to make business communication seamless, intuitive, and impactful,” said Amod Jain, Chief Product Officer, Prezent. “With contextual intelligence, we’re empowering teams to create content that truly resonates with their audiences—at scale.”

“Our vision extends beyond building AI solutions that work—we’re engineering intelligent and contextual systems that transform the way enterprises communicate,” said Rajat Mishra, CEO. “Leading organizations around the globe are increasingly relying on AI to drive innovation, solve complex challenges, and unlock extraordinary value. We are committed to leading the charge in continuing to build stronger, more accurate and effective AI models to empower business professionals to better communicate.” 

Fresh Capital from Visionary Investors

To drive its ambitious AI roadmap and expand into new geographies and industries, Prezent has raised significant funding from both new and existing investors. The round was led by Greycroft Ventures, with support from existing investors Emergent Capital and WestWave Capital. True Global Ventures (TGV) joined as a new investor, bringing international reach and deep expertise in AI Applications, alongside investors Zoom Ventures and Alumni Ventures. This funding will accelerate the development of Prezent’s enterprise-grade agentic AI, support its innovative roadmap, and fuel market expansion.

“Prezent”s innovative approach to enterprise business communication through AI-driven solutions aligns perfectly with our commitment to investing in fast-growing companies run by exceptional entrepreneurs like Rajat Mishra,” said Frank Desvignes, Founding Partner True Global Ventures. “We believe Prezent is revolutionizing how teams work and communicate, and we are excited to join them on their journey to shape the future of productivity. We are confident that Prezent can become a global leader and category maker in this space.”

The funding will also support a rapid expansion of their suite of Machine Learning models, AI applications and agents for the most time-intensive workflows and industry-specific presentations in BioPharma, Technology, Financial Services, and Manufacturing.

Strengthening the Team

In addition to product and capital investments, Prezent is growing its team to drive innovation and customer success. New hires across key leadership, engineering, and go-to-market roles are bolstering the company’s ability to meet customer needs and scale operations. They recently brought on four new leaders to their Senior Leadership team, including Maeva Riley (VP Global Marketing), Michael Lam (GM US West), Brad Evans (GM US Commercial), and Alex Hann (GM Europe). Each brings decades of experience in helping startups during their critical scale up phase. 

“Our people are at the heart of Prezent’s success,” said Rajat Mishra. “We’re excited to welcome new talent who share our passion for transforming business communication.”

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
