Welcome everybody to the Entrepreneurial Thought Leader seminar at Stanford University.

ETL is the Stanford seminar for aspiring entrepreneurs.

And it is brought to you by basis, the Business Association of Stanford Entrepreneurial Students and

STVP, the Stanford Technology Ventures Program.

I'm Ravi Balani, a lecturer in the management science and engineering department at Stanford,

and the director of Alchemists and Accelerator for Enterprise Startups. Today, we have the pleasure

of continuing the Stanford Engineering Centennial. It's the 100-year anniversary of the Stanford School

of Engineering, and we have one of our own Stanford engineer alums this week, Grant Lee, who is part

of the Centennial Celebration and is the CEO and co-founder of Gamma, which is an AI-powered

presentation and website design platform.

How many people have used Gamma?

Okay.

It will make your life better, especially if you're a student, it's a little bit of a hack.

And for all those who have, you guys are not alone, there's over 50 million users and probably more that have, that have used gamma.

And gamma is also scaled to $50 million in annual recurring revenue or ARR with a relatively

lean team with fewer than 50 employees and also with also frugal and thoughtful fundraising

without taking an excess venture capital gamma's raised over $20 million from funds like Excel and marquee investors like Eric Juan, the CEO of Zoom, who is also here at ETL.

And despite, not despite that, maybe because of being so lean and smart, Forbes has also recently named Gamma a next billion dollar startup.

Grant is a Stanford

trained engineer he is really returning home here with this talk grant got his

bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and is and co-termed in

biomechanical engineering any mechanical engineers in the audience okay so
