Prysm
Brand, market, and raise venture capital for the next generation of commercial large-format displays

How do you market company who’s product can compete with the largest commercial display makers but is invisible and undercover?
Prysm had a host of challenges when they first met Thinktiv nearly 4 years ago. They were undercover. They had no brand. And… no product.
Their biggest challenge?
They needed to convince investors that they had the technology and wherewithal to take on the giants of the commercial display market like Barco, Samsung and Sony in order to raise nearly $100 million in capital.
