SLIDESHARE HAS REACHED
10 MILLION UPLOADS!
HERE ARE SOME PRESENTATIONS THAT HAVE
TOUCHED THE HEARTS OF ALL OF US AT SLIDESHARE

2.
Sometimes a presentation that wasn’t initially designed to
be posted on SlideShare is. This presentation by Sequoia
Capital devastated the private equity market and accelerated
the recession in the Silicon Valley at the least.”
ROSS MAYFIELD, Marketing & Biz Dev
“

3.
My all-time favorite is probably ShiftHappens. This was the
winner of our first contest and I think this presentation
heralded a new era in presentation design.”
RASHMI SINHA, Co-founder & CEO
“

4.
SlideShare's biggest contribution to the web is the idea that
professional content can have a social life — and this Netflix
deck stands testimony to this idea. It continues to inspire
millions of people every day in their professional lives.”
AMIT RANJAN, Co-founder
“

5.
Some works are classic. ‘Brand Gap’ shows how cleverly
and creatively crafted content stands apart and is a potent
tool for mass education. It should be a staple in advertising
and branding curriculum.”
ARCHANA KULSHRESTHA, Content Evangelist
“

6.
“Let's face it, PowerPoint is today's business lingua franca — yet
very little consideration is given to the actual design of the deck
itself. This is why Jesse Dee's evocative You Suck at PowerPoint
is so spot-on. If you are interested in using SlideShare as a
medium for content marketing, you need to avoid these
mistakes at all costs and, ultimately, not suck at PowerPoint.”
KEVIN FISHER, Global Solutions & Services

7.
“The battle that makes up the face of web operations is changing.
Developers cannot live to fight battles in a pre-production
environment only. Production is the new battle field and a new
soldier can save the day. Long live Dev Ops!”
CASEY ABERNATHY, Software Engineer

8.
“This was the moment when I knew my co-worker and I were
going to be fast friends.”
CASEY BROWN, Senior Site Reliability Engineer

9.
“The ‘build, deploy, measure, start over’ cycle should be
embraced by every web company.”
SYLVAIN KALACHE, Operations Engineer

10.
“Previously Mary Meeker published insights on the Internet
industry through Morgan Stanley's equity research team. Having
moved over to KPCB it was awesome to see Mary's report and
insights available for free across the world, on SlideShare. I think
this distribution of fantastic content is at the core of what
SlideShare does for our community, and at the heart of how
SlideShare can change the world at massive scale!”
JOHN LOOF, Associate Product Manager

11.
“This presentation inspires me to prioritize and do more
in limited time.”
AMIT SAWHNEY, Senior Product Manager

12.
“Why make your own mistakes, when you can learn
from someone else’s experiences?”
ARPIT DHARIWAL, Product Manager

13.
“‘What people say they want and what they’re willing to work
their asses off to get are two different things.’ — Hugh MacLeod
So what are YOU willing to do? Life is a journey — make it
freakin' spectacular!”
PRANAV PRAKASH, Software Engineer

14.
“This mouth-watering presentation is a treat for the eyes and
makes the taste-buds nostalgic, which is at the heart of it. After
seeing the presentation, I feel on my tongue the words of
Wordsworth: ‘And then my heart with pleasure fills…’ ”
UPALI BASU, Analyst

15.
“How do you continue moving fast at scale? This deck introduced
us to the idea of DevOps and influenced our thinking about
releasing software. One of the most powerful ideas that shaped
SlideShare.”
KAPIL MOHAN, Technical Architect

16.
“Great use of a presentation to summarize how we should
all be thinking about our career, our development and our
professional success.”
REHAN MOHAMMAD, Business Operations Manager

17.
“This is a fun, visually engaging presentation that shows
that anyone can take just about any topic and turn it into
a page-tuner.”
MARISA WONG, Managing Editor

18.

offers great advice for anyone who is looking to visit!”

NEHA JAIN, Software Engineer

Connecting the success saga of one of the most famous videos of
our time to email marketing strategy is the purest and truest form
of creativity . And oh yes, the preso is awesomely kewl too!”
SAPTARSHI CHATTERJEE, Software Engineer

21.
“This presentation explains the competition and the business
landscape around Facebook very well. Added: a theoretical
explanation of how the concepts that make Facebook were
envisioned, and why they are so strong emotional motivators.”
ARINDAM CHAKRABORTY, Software Engineer

22.
“I have some slides from this deck pasted on my workstation
to remind me of these best practices daily.”
AKASH AGRAWAL, Principal Engineer

gave us some of the most wonderful products. I try to imbibe the
same principles in my work and life.”
NIKHIL CHANDNA, UX Designer

minimalist presentation design movement.”
