That’s the thesis driving Prezent, a Palo Alto startup that’s been named to Inc.’s Power Partner Awards 2025, recognizing companies helping entrepreneurs and enterprises thrive in today’s complex B2B landscape.
The Power Partner list highlights organizations that earn top marks from clients for reliability and impact. As Inc. editorial director Bonny Ghosh explains, the winners “are more than providers — they’re essential partners in growth.”
For Prezent, founded in 2021 by former Cisco executive Rajat Mishra, the award validates its push to modernize how corporations communicate internally and externally. The company’s AI-driven platform helps users design, structure, and deliver presentations through ASTRID, its proprietary generative AI co-pilot. The result: faster workflows, consistent branding, and measurable improvements in audience engagement.
The rise of AI-driven communication
Prezent’s trajectory mirrors the rising demand for automation in business communication. In 2025, it raised $30 million in new funding — backed by Multiplier Capital, Greycroft, and Nomura Strategic Ventures — pushing its valuation to $400 million. The capital supports an AI-enabled roll-up strategy, beginning with its acquisition of Prezentium, a services-led presentation firm in the life sciences sector.
The company’s vision is ambitious: to integrate human creativity and AI assistance into a single enterprise-grade platform that eliminates the inefficiencies of traditional content agencies.
McKinsey estimates that AI could unlock up to $4.4 trillion in global productivity gains, and Prezent intends to capture part of that opportunity by rethinking how large organizations produce and share information.
“We believe the agency model is obsolete,” Mishra says. “AI will redefine the way business stories are created, personalized, and delivered at scale.”
As enterprises continue to seek speed, precision, and clarity, Prezent’s hybrid model could become a cornerstone of the future B2B stack — a category-defining company rewriting how leaders communicate.
