Meanwhile, there has always been a group of educators who have passionately used Slido in their classrooms. Later on, it was adopted by numerous world-class companies for their company meetings.

Over the years, Slido has been used at hundreds of thousands of events and conferences. We decided to try our luck and start a company. Soon, we realized that the potential could go way beyond just collecting ratings on the classes. We took this idea to Startup Weekend, where we met with our co-founders, built the first prototype, and actually won.

Coming full circle: From university back to universityĮight years ago, we started Slido with a simple idea – to help lecturers improve their classes by collecting instant feedback from their students. This is an important milestone for us, as our very own story began in academia. We hope Slido for Education will help teachers maintain the connection with their students and deliver engaging lectures despite the challenging circumstances. Many schools are facing similar challenges now, being forced to cancel classes or move them online. We planned to announce our new offering at SXSW EDU this week and we are very sorry that such a great event had to be canceled last minute due to COVID-19.
