🛎️ Growth Miracle

Plus: Zero-Waste GTM, The Differential Privacy

Good Morning, AI Enthusiasts!

The miracle lies a new calculus: scale isn’t just what you gain, it’s who gets erased along the way.

GROWTH

Gamma’s $4.8M MRR Miracle Wasn’t AGI

we grew from zero to $50M ARR in <2 years, profitably
i've never publicly shared our tactics before
it's cost us over $5M to learn what I'm about to share

📌 What’s happening: Gamma founder Grant Lee just revealed Gamma’s numbers: zero to $50M ARR in under two years, profitably. The secret wasn’t a billion-dollar model but an old-school growth hack—systematic influencer marketing, stacked with brand polish, user testing, and brutal dogfooding.

🧠 How this hits reality: While most AI startups torch budgets on cloud bills and ads, Gamma proved that creators can be cheaper, faster, and more scalable than performance marketing. It’s a reminder that CAC is now decided on Twitter as much as in your Salesforce dashboard.

🛎️ Key takeaway: “The real growth engine isn’t your GPU cluster—it’s your influencer roster.”

How AI Startups Learned To Grow Without Growing

📌 What’s happening: The theory of Zero-Waste GTM is ripping through startup circles. First it sounded like another theory. Reps spend only thirty percent of their time on real revenue work, so AI should swallow the other seventy. But founders picked it up fast. In pitch meetings and Slack channels, they now whisper the same line. If five people can run what once needed fifty, why ever hire fifty again.

🧠 How this hits reality: Seed teams tried it first, but the signal spread. Now companies scaling at breakneck speed, like Gramma, are also running lean. They cut out the busywork, let AI carry the load, and push every saved dollar back into growth. Investors nod. Operators stop pretending it is optional. Old SaaS org charts already read like artifacts from a slower century.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Zero-Waste GTM is not just efficiency—it is a quiet workforce reset. Growth compounds, but so does who gets left behind.

PRIVACY

Google Cracks the Privacy Paradox with VaultGemma

📌 What’s happening: Google just dropped VaultGemma, a 1B-parameter LLM that it claims delivers full differential privacy without sacrificing performance. Differential privacy works by injecting mathematical “noise” into training so the model can’t memorize or leak sensitive data (think patient records or bank accounts). The catch has always been that privacy made models weak and unstable. VaultGemma rewrites the rules with new “DP scaling laws” that let it train big, stay stable, and still perform like non-private models. Even more surprising, Google open-sourced it on Hugging Face.

🧠 How this hits reality: If real, this shatters the old tradeoff where “private = dumb.” Banks, hospitals, and any compliance-choked sector suddenly get production-grade models that won’t leak data. It also flips the regulatory game: Google is no longer waiting for Brussels or DC to dictate privacy standards—it’s pre-wiring the moat. Competitors hawking “responsible AI” now look like they’ve been selling seatbelts that snap under pressure.

🛎️ Key takeaway: Privacy just graduated from “nice-to-have” to “infrastructure.” Whoever masters DP scaling laws isn’t just safer—they’re the ones holding the keys to the trillion-parameter future.
