Company profile
researched Aug 2026Tiled operates an interactive content platform that converts static presentations, PDFs and design files into "microapps" — focused, interactive experiences that behave like native apps or coded websites but require no development work. Users import existing assets from PowerPoint, Google Slides, Figma, Sketch, and Adobe tools (XD, InDesign, Photoshop), often via Tiled plugins, and then layer in interactivity, customization and analytics without rebuilding the underlying design. The company also describes "intelligent documents" as microapps that adapt to their audience, personalize content and return actionable insights.
The platform's analytics capture engagement at individual and team level, including stakeholder-level tracking of which sections receive attention and how long buyers spend on each page; earlier company materials describe Pathway Insights, Completion Events and a Tiled Engagement Score. Typical applications include finalist presentations, pitch decks, company overviews, RFP decks, sales enablement reviews, sales playbooks, training, customer education, internal and benefits communication, and digital signage. Tiled positions itself as complementary to design tools rather than a design tool itself, and integrates with CRM, CMS, analytics and sales enablement systems.
A support site documents the Tiled Builder, Tiles, plugins for Figma, Adobe XD and Sketch, account/library/microapp settings, and sharing and analytics functionality. An AI assistant answers user questions about platform features and workflows using Tiled's support documentation.
Founding story
Tiled was founded on the premise that business storytelling had remained two-dimensional — from papyrus to the printing press to presentation slides — while internet-era audiences expect video, audio and interactivity. The founding team is led by Darrell Swain, who also founded Lucid Software, alongside Ethan Christensen, a former Cooley partner and VP of legal at ServiceNow; Matt and Jeremiah Simpson, founding team members of Digital McKinsey; and James Gentry, who has led Tiled's development from the outset [2][4].
Business model
Tiled sells its interactive content platform to enterprise teams on flexible plans priced by team size, usage and performance goals, supported by guided onboarding, dedicated customer success managers and self-serve resources, with plans scaling as teams grow [0][1].
Subscription-style plans for enterprise teams, tiered by team size, usage and performance goals [0][1].
Traction
At the time of the Series A in September 2021, Tiled reported 211% year-over-year growth, a 53% increase in headcount, 99 new customers added in the prior year, and roughly 60 employees, with a stated goal of 90 by year-end. The company debuted at No. 220 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list and won a 2021 Gold Stevie Award and a 2021 HR Tech Award for Best Comprehensive Solution. Customer-cited results on the company website include a 250% increase in content engagement and a 19% increase in conversion rates [0][4][5][6].
Latest developments
Tiled has added an AI assistant that answers user questions about platform features and workflows from its support documentation, and markets template-based microapps for finalist presentations, pitch decks, company overviews, RFP decks and sales enablement reviews. Company newsroom items also reference a new integration with Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries and three award wins alongside growing microapp engagement [0][1][4][5].

Market position
Positions itself as a standard for interactive presentations in enterprise sales, sitting between design tools and sales enablement distribution platforms rather than replacing either; investors and partners include Adobe and Seismic [0][5][6].
Works with content teams already create in Adobe, Figma and PowerPoint rather than requiring rebuilding or new design tools, adds interactivity and personalization without code, and supplies stakeholder-level engagement analytics that static formats do not provide [0][1][5].
Technology
A no-code story builder that assembles imported design and presentation assets into microapps, with plugins for Figma, Adobe XD and Sketch, an interactivity and personalization layer, and engagement analytics reported by stakeholder. Content is hosted on AWS, and the company states SOC 2 compliance, enterprise-grade encryption, single sign-on and access controls. Viewers need only a web browser, with no login or special software [0][1][3].
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales supported by demo requests and a template library on the website, combined with channel and technology partnerships — notably a deep partnership with Seismic, where Tiled powers interactive content natively inside Seismic's system, plus integrations with Adobe Creative Cloud tools and marketing automation platforms. Proceeds from both disclosed financings were directed at hiring enterprise sales, customer success and marketing staff and at channel partnerships [0][4][5][6].
