# Talkable's *pitch deck*

The deck, and the 2 rounds we watched Talkable raise afterwards, with the investors each report named.

Talkable is a premium enterprise referral marketing platform founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, with an additional office in Kyiv, Ukraine. Originally established as Curebit, Inc., the company rebranded to Talkable and focuses on helping e-commerce brands acquire and retain high-value customers through word-of-mouth endorsements. Talkable serves a diverse range of clients, including well-known brands like L'Occitane, Tarte, Rothy's, ALO Yoga, and TOMS, and has facilitated over $2 billion in referred sales. The platform offers a comprehensive, managed service for referral marketing, which includes end-to-end program management, advanced segmentation and targeting, built-in A/B testing, fraud intelligence, and detailed analytics. Talkable integrates seamlessly with major e-commerce platforms such as Magento and Shopify, making it an effective solution for B2B and retail companies, particularly in the e-commerce and direct-to-consumer sectors.

Firms listing Talkable on their own portfolio page: the firm's own account rather than a round we watched. Weaker than an announcement, much stronger than a list somebody sold us.
