think-cell is a German computer software company founded in April 2002 and headquartered in Berlin, Germany. The Fraunhofer Society spin-off [1] focuses upon the creation of Microsoft PowerPoint and Excel add-in products.[2]
The company's main product – think-cell chart – aims to facilitate the creation of charts, e.g., bar charts, waterfall charts, Marimekko charts and Gantt charts, on Microsoft PowerPoint presentation slides from Microsoft Excel data sheets. Some features overlap with those provided by newer versions of Microsoft Office, such as the waterfall charts and Marimekko charts that are built-in charts in Office 2016.[clarification needed][example needed]
Based on a revenue growth rate of 3,150% over five years think-cell took 4th place in Deloitte Germany's 2009 Technology Fast 50 Awards.[3]
