We are witnessing the rewriting of the old Silicon Valley success playbook. For decades, the formula was simple: massive funding rounds, large-scale hiring in anticipation of growth, aggressive scaling, and discussions about fantastic profits in the foreseeable future. Today, a new generation of AI-powered startups is turning this model upside down.
A prime example is Gamma, a pioneer in AI-driven platforms for creating presentations and websites with a focus on corporate collaboration. Founded by Grant Lee, John Noronha, and James Fox, the startup has achieved impressive results: tens of millions of dollars in annual revenue and nearly 50 million users worldwide. Yet, the company has only 28 employees.
