Breaking: the secret behind Gamma's explosive growth from zero to $50M ARR in <2 years, profitably
In a market flooded with presentation tools, Gamma has emerged as 2025’s breakout star. What started as an AI-powered slide builder became a viral sensation, capturing creators, professionals, and investors alike. Today, as we celebrate the 1-year anniversary of our partnership with Gamma, it’s clear how much impact a strategic growth collaboration can have.
"Hockey Stick Growth drove 1B+ views with 1,500+ creators—no extra ad spend. Their success is no accident: spot trends early, craft viral hooks for each platform, understand why they spread, then replicate 100x across creators. They avoid the usual mistakes: thinking small, being too selective, giving up early. Their systematic approach—test everything, track what converts, scale what works—turns viral content into predictable signups."
— Grant Lee, Co-Founder/CEO @ Gamma
Gamma tested everything. New platforms, content directions, viral hooks, platform-specific formats—1,500+ creators, 1B+ views across X, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Some even caught Elon Musk’s eye (more than once). Every trend became an experiment; every creator, a lab.
