RIP, PowerPoint: The 50-Person Giant Slayer That Just Shook a Multi-Billion Dollar Industry.
Translate this article
The way we build presentations and documents has remained largely unchanged for decades before the launch of Gamma, the startup known for its tools to create presentations, websites, and other content from basic instructions. Gamma has just closed a funding round that values the company at $2.1 billion. The Series B investment was led by Sarah Ding Wang, with the news first reported by The New York Times.
The company also shared that it has reached $100 million in annual recurring revenue, a milestone achieved profitably with a team of just 50 employees. That figure translates to $2 million in annual recurring revenue per employee, a strong indicator of operational efficiency in a competitive field.
Founded as an alternative to traditional presentation software like PowerPoint , which dates back to 1987, before the widespread use of the internet or personal gaming devices , Gamma has grown to serve 70 million users. It now produces 30 million new documents each month, according to an announcement from Gamma co-founder Grant Lee.
"We’re not stopping," Lee wrote on X. "We’re expanding our plans for businesses. We’re building out a full visual storytelling platform. And today, we’re releasing our API to the general public. So you can plug Gamma into wherever work happens."
The API release opens Gamma up to integrations with other workflows, allowing users to automate tasks like generating personalized proposals or converting meeting notes into structured documents. Examples include linking Gamma with tools such as n8n for cold outreach emails, Zapier for custom proposals from spreadsheet data, or HubSpot for onboarding materials after a deal closes.
To mark the occasion, Gamma has launched a free resource: a collection of 100 prompts designed to help users get started quickly. Backed by an analysis of over 3.5 million presentations from its user base, the prompts draw from real patterns across professions. The company examined how consultants, marketers, sales professionals, educators, and others structure their work, finding that users save 85-90% of the time it would take to build content from scratch , often reducing a 4-6 hour task to 25-45 minutes.
The prompts are organized by category, with examples tailored to specific needs:
The full set covers consultants (e.g., ambulatory care expansion plans), operations (e.g., risk analyses for restaurant growth), and more. Over 92% of the analyzed presentations incorporated visuals, a trend the prompts emphasize to match professional standards.
Gamma's growth reflects a shift in how teams handle visual communication, from boardrooms to classrooms. With the new funding, the company plans to deepen its business offerings and API capabilities, making its tools more accessible for integrated workflows.
