PowerPoint productivity plugin for data-driven business presentations
think-cell is a C++ desktop plugin for Microsoft PowerPoint that automates chart design, annotation, and slide formatting for business presentations. The company is scaling sales (15 active hiring roles) while maintaining a lean engineering footprint (5 roles), indicating a product-market fit shift toward revenue acceleration. Hiring velocity is decelerating despite open seats, and projects cluster around customer retention (churn reduction, post-deal adoption, expansion opportunities) and go-to-market infrastructure (marketing tech stack optimization, tag management, localization) — suggesting maturation beyond feature development into operational efficiency.
