Grant Lee
Co-founder and CEO of Gamma, an AI-powered presentation and visual-communication tool. Gamma reached $100M ARR with roughly 30 employees, 50M+ users, and a $2B valuation — built from a team that was nearly out of runway in 2022. Previously at Optimizely (background in experimentation culture that became core to Gamma’s product DNA).
Known for: the micro-influencer marketing playbook (personal creator onboarding, echo-chamber targeting, LinkedIn-first distribution), the “hire painfully slowly” mantra, the player-coach management model (no pure managers), and the conviction that being a “GPT wrapper” is a strength when you own a deep workflow end to end. Recommends 7 Powers (Hamilton Helmer) for post-PMF founders and Shoe Dog (Phil Knight) for pre-PMF founders.
