Grant Lee : From "The Worst Idea" to a $2.1B Company | Gamma

Grant Lee : From "The Worst Idea" to a $2.1B Company | Gamma

Grant Lee is the co-founder and CEO of Gamma — the $2.1B AI tool that turns one prompt into a finished presentation, now used by 100 million people.

We covered:

  • How Gamma hit $100M in revenue with a team of just 50 — profitably, on only $23M of funding
  • The two signs you have product-market fit before the money shows up, and why "your friends will lie to you" about your product
  • How to run a full fundraise in two weeks — Grant did 100+ pitches and how he turned a wall of no's into yes's
  • How to tell if an idea is worth a year of your life (he picks by energy, not spreadsheets)
  • Why a top investor called Gamma "the worst idea I've ever heard" — and what that investor actually got right
  • The exact first-30-days plan he gives any founder starting today
