Unbelievable: they reached 50 million users with a total of 28 employees, and they're profitable! 🤯
A startup called Gamma that many of us know (a chat for presentations using AI, if you haven't tried it you must) was covered this week by the New York Times, and proves that these days you can build a huge company with a small team.
Instead of rushing to raise tens of millions and grow fast, they chose a different approach:
- A tiny but versatile team
- Deep use of artificial intelligence
- 15 months of profitability in a row
- No unnecessary management, no points of failure
Every team member at Gamma is a generalist: knows how to build, analyze, and understand customers.
ֿ
AI is not just a helper - it's a real force multiplier:
- Claude for data analysis
- Cursor for code
- NotebookLM for market research
Real examples:
- The growth manager built an analytics system by himself that doesn't require SQL
- The marketing lead created strategic personas out of thousands of customer interactions
- The design team builds quick prototypes and shows them to enthusiastic users
They're not just doing "more with less".
They're redefining what's possible when you have a small, talented team with smart tools.
And their strategy answers one simple question: how much impact can you produce with the fewest people?
The future belongs to small teams of exceptional people.
What do you say - will we see this soon in an Israeli startup too?
