Grant Lee is the Co-founder & CEO of Gamma, building instant PowerPoints, presentations, and websites with AI.

As someone who’s made a lot of decks, its refreshing how Gamma thinks about slides starting with the words and narrative, using AI to design around the story.

Gamma has put up impressive metrics, growing from zero to 50 million users and $50 million in ARR with only 30 employees. They’ve also had zero employee attrition, and a negative lifetime burn rate, with more cash in the bank than they’ve raised.

Grant shares how Gamma rebuilt their entire product to be AI-native in the months after ChatGPT launched, and how every department at Gamma uses AI internally.

We also talk about Gamma’s success hiring generalist’s, why a quarter of the team is designers, and why they’ve never raised large funding rounds and don’t subscribe to Silicon Valley’s 996 working hours.
