He’s in charge of overseeing the company’s roadmap, strategy, and growth marketing efforts.

Since its inception seven years ago, Slidebean has grown to offer more than help with PowerPoint creation.

The company developed a pitch deck builder with more than a hundred presentation templates powered by artificial intelligence.

“Today, Slidebean helps founders pitch investors.

“Our goal is to bridge that gap for new entrepreneurs.”

He stumbled into entrepreneurship by accident after coming up with a mobile game concept back in 2011.

Today, Slidebean helps founders pitch investors.

Cayasso is more focused on creating an inclusive, safe, and comfortable workspace.

Slidebean even has an office dog named Tonita on the team.

The most rewarding moment in Cayasso’s entrepreneurial career has been growing Slidebean’s YouTube presence.

He’s traveling to some places to make short documentaries about them to feature on Slidebean’s YouTube channel.

Cayasso hopes fresh video content will power Slidebean’s growth.

I’m a hands-on creator.

Despite some challenges, Cayasso takes everything in the startup growth process one step at a time.

Think of it as a math equation.”
