Plus AI is a Seattle-based software company that builds an AI presentation maker working directly inside Google Slides and Microsoft PowerPoint. Rather than trapping users in a separate web editor, Plus generates and edits native slides - drafting decks from a prompt, converting documents like PDFs and Word files into presentations, rewriting and remixing existing slides, and matching custom brand templates. Founded in 2021 by former Madrona venture capitalist Daniel Li and ex-BCG and Webflow product leader Chloe Qi, the company has raised roughly $8-10M in seed funding and says its tools have been installed by more than a million users.
Julia Enthoven is the co-founder and CEO of Kapwing, a San Francisco-based online video editing platform that has grown to 25 million registered users. A Stanford Math & CS graduate and former Google Product Manager, she co-founded Kapwing in 2017 with Eric Lu after they both left Google. Under her leadership, Kapwing evolved from a simple meme maker into a comprehensive AI-powered video editing suite used by creators, brands, and educators worldwide. Named Forbes 30 Under 30 in Consumer Tech (2020) and Product Hunt Maker of the Year (2018), she has also launched Tess, an artist-compensating AI image generator, and is an outspoken voice on building ethical AI tools.
