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 Links: Subscribe to my newsletter: https://siliconvalleygirl.beehiiv.com/subscribe?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=futureproof-sub&utm_content=GrantLee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/siliconvalleygirl/ X: https://x.com/siliconvalleymm LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marinamogilko My Companies & Products: https://partnerships.marinamogilko.co
