From beta to breakthrough: Achieving growth with AI and J.P. Morgan
Throughout 2022, Gamma refined its product with beta customers. But when Gamma integrated artificial intelligence in March 2023, growth exploded—the startup gained 10 million users in just nine months.
“When you think about the traditional sort of presentation tools like slides, you’re often faced with this blank canvas—and the majority of us are not visual designers,” Lee said. “Integrating AI and continuing to innovate on our product’s initial building blocks has allowed us to deliver on the promise we wanted to: make things simpler and faster for our users.”
Yet March 2023 brought turbulent times for the startup ecosystem. The launch coincided with March 2023’s market volatility in regional banks, testing startups nationwide.
“I remember sitting in one of the corners of that two-bedroom apartment, two weeks away from our biggest launch—the AI launch—and not knowing if we could even make payroll,” Lee said.
With its accounts caught in the regional banking turmoil, Gamma needed a swift solution. Lee reached out to a former investment banking colleague at J.P. Morgan. “He put me in touch with the team that eventually got us all set up. It was very quick and responsive. We jumped on a call, and we were off to the races after that,” Lee said.
Now with 30 million users worldwide, Gamma continues to expand. “I’m excited on all fronts. The technology is advancing so quickly, and we’re just scratching the surface in terms of what the capabilities will be,” Lee said.
