How this AI startup gained 3 million users (in just 3 months)

They gained 3 million users in just 3 months for their AI startup.

Another 6 million in the 7 months after.

All because of these 5 strategies...

Here's the amazing breakdown of Gamma's growth.

Strategy 1: Create a new horizontal (in a red ocean - with the help of AI)

Gamma is an AI-powered tool to create presentations, websites, and other
documents.

If we think of slide decks, most think of Microsoft PowerPoint.

Gamma won market share quickly because it did not simply build a "better
PowerPoint."

It built a new horizontal by giving users new ways to create presentations
beautifully.

And fast (with AI).

In seconds, it'll generate a slide deck for you (watch the video).

Strategy 2: Viral Loop Marketing

It implements viral loop marketing to boost word-of-mouth marketing.

All free presentations are shared with a mention + link of "Made with Gamma."

Strategy 3: Referrals (credits-system)

It has a super smart referral system to incentivize free users to keep using
Gamma for free.

Simply by sharing Gamma with others and earning credits.

Strategy 4: Leverage creators

They have acquired a network of online "AI influencers" who can reach
Gamma's desired target audience.

    Gamma's success story is a masterclass in product-led growth. From their killer Product Hunt launch to their clever viral loop marketing, they've nailed the art of user acquisition. Surely didn't hurt that they made AI the star of the show! 🚀
