Haiku Deck raises cash, names Rand Fishkin and Russell Benaroya to board

Haiku Deck, the Seattle startup that’s creating an alternative to PowerPoint, has raised some fresh capital and appointed to key tech executives to its board. Citing SEC regulations, Haiku Deck CEO Adam Tratt declined to comment on the financing round or total capital raised at the company. However, Tratt did confirm that two leading Seattle tech executives have joined the company’s board: Moz founder Rand Fishkin and EveryMove CEO Russell Benaroya. Haiku Deck now counts more than 3.6 million downloads on iTunes, and the company’s recently launched Web version also is gaining steam. “We’ve continued to grow our base organically thanks to some great new features like editable PowerPoint export and new user profile pages,” said Tratt, a former marketing executive at Cranium.
