Foundation and background
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, the Mentimeter app was started by Swedish entrepreneur Johnny Warström[9] and Niklas Ingvar[9] as a response to unproductive meetings.[10] The initial start-up budget was $500,000 raised by a group of prominent investors, including Per Appelgren in 2014, following the market's tendency to invest in Scandinavia.[11][12]
The app also focuses on online collaboration for the education sector, allowing students or public members to answer questions anonymously.[13][14][15]
The app enables users to share knowledge and real-time feedback on mobile devices[6] with presentations, polls or brainstorming sessions in classes, meetings, gatherings, conferences and other group activities.[13][16]
