Prezi is quickly becoming the de facto alternative to a boring PowerPoint presentation.
In the past 10 months, the company has doubled its user base, from 10 million to 20 million users, gaining 1 million new users a month.
It's likely to get even more popular because the online presentation site recently added support for sound.
Prezi launched in 2009 and soon won over TED, the nonprofit behind the conference series and TED Talks video lectures, as an investor. The TED folks thought that Prezi was going to pitch them as a customer, but gutsy cofounder and CEO Peter Arvai used a Prezi to ask for an investment. It worked and TED organizer Chris Anderson agreed to invest an undisclosed sum. Since then, Prezi has raised a total of $14 million from venture capitalists such as Accel Partners.
