Most impressively, they went from less than a year of runway to cash-flow positive in just 3 months after pivoting to AI, with 80% of their revenue coming from outside the U.S. - all without a sales team. In this episode, Jon breaks down Gamma's unconventional approach to building AI products, challenging traditional notions of team structure and go-to-market strategy.

What you'll learn: - How Gamma evolved from a presentation tool into a full-blown AI content platform - Why they bet on a design-first team structure with 7 UX designers and no traditional PMs - The technology behind their AI implementation and multi-model approach - How they achieved profitability in 3 months through pure product-led growth - Their strategy for reaching 50M+ users with a team of just 30 people Episode Chapters: (00:00) Gamma's Evolution: From Presentations to AI Platform (15:00) Unconventional Team Structure: Why Designers > PMs (20:00) Product-Led Growth: Zero to 50M Users Without Sales (25:00) AI Integration Strategy: Focusing on User Experience (30:00) International Growth: 80% Revenue Outside US Key Takeaways 👇: Design-First Organization Jon challenges traditional tech company structure by prioritizing designers over PMs, demonstrating how a design-led organization can drive rapid product innovation and growth. Pure Product-Led Growth Through extensive A/B testing and a focus on user experience, Gamma achieved profitability in just 3 months after their AI pivot, with a $20/month price point that resonated globally. Strategic AI Implementation Rather than building their own AI models, Gamma focused on the application layer, creating value through superior user experience and interface design while leveraging existing AI infrastructure. This episode is filled with contrarian insights about building AI products, from team structure to go-to-market strategy, making it a must-listen for product leaders looking to challenge conventional wisdom in tech.
