Figma Over Slides for Sales
Brendan Weitz, co-founder of Journey, on building the Webflow for sales
This points to presentations turning from fixed pages into interactive product surfaces. In Journey, slide files like Pitch, Canva, Google Slides, and PDFs are still common, but Figma shows up when teams need a buyer or investor to click around, inspect a prototype, or see a roadmap in context. That makes Figma a better fit when the goal is not just to explain the product, but to let someone experience part of it before a live call.

Journey sits on top of many content tools, and Figma is grouped with Miro and Loom as interactive assets rather than classic slides. That matters because Journey is built for async sales follow up, onboarding, and fundraising, where the recipient often wants to explore on their own instead of watching a linear deck.

Pitch was built as a browser native slide tool with Figma style collaboration and templates, then later added Pitch Rooms for buyer facing microsites and analytics. Even Pitch had to move beyond slides toward embedded content and sales workflows, which shows the market is shifting toward richer, more navigable storytelling.

The clearest early non designer use cases for Figma inside Journey are fundraising and customer success. In both cases, the sender is showing what is coming next, a product roadmap, a future interface, or a prototype, which is exactly where a flexible canvas beats a page by page deck.
The next step is that sales content will look more like a lightweight product demo and less like a slideshow. As more buying happens asynchronously, the winning tools will be the ones that combine narrative, live embeds, analytics, and personalization, and Figma's canvas model gives it a strong foundation in that shift.
