Today, as shared by The New York Times, we’re announcing two things:
>Our Series B at a $2.1B valuation led by @sarahdingwang at @a16z.
>Reaching $100M ARR, profitably, with a team of just 50 people. That's $2M ARR per employee.
PowerPoint was invented before the first website, before the Game Boy, before the Berlin Wall fell.
But Gamma, and our 70 million users, are proof that an AI-native company can disrupt a category everyone assumed was won.
30 million gammas are created every single month, as we fight hard to become a new standard for communication.
But we’re not stopping. 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.
And to celebrate, we’re also sharing our first ever prompt guide backed by research into how our most successful users use Gamma to automate presentations, websites, and content in minutes.
Generative AI is eating the world faster than anything we’ve ever seen. This has wide reaching implications on our safety, security, information integrity & all of our online interactions.
@pangram is ensuring humans can identify AI generated information on the spot. It has quickly become an indispensable tool for educators, the academic community & forum moderators on UGC platforms like quora, reddit... who account for a huge % of all online information.
Super excited to support @max_spero_ and @bradley_emi on their mission to certify the integrity of online information in the age of AI.
Thrilled to announce that @pangram closed its seed round, bringing our total raised to $4M! I'm so excited to continue our mission serving schools, internet platforms, and more with incredibly accurate AI detection technology.
Congratulations to @Canary_Tech on the Series D - We've participated in 5 of their financing rounds to date (a Script record!) and every one was a clear no-brainer, this Series D included!
Today, I’m thrilled to share @DoppelHQ has raised a $35 million Series B, led by @BessemerVP, with participation from new investors @9yardscapital and @sozo_ventures, and existing investors like @a16z, @southpkcommons, @SCV_Cyber, @scriptcapital, and @sabrinahahn.
Three years ago, @rahul_madduluri and I started Doppel shortly after the arrival of ChatGPT, anticipating the major threats AI would bring to the world. Since then, we’ve worked every day with our customers, almost 200 now, to build the social engineering defense platform, targeting everything from brand impersonation to executive protection to multi-channel phishing.
Since inception, we’ve maintained a 230% CAGR, and we saw a 400% growth in enterprise customers in just the past year. We’re now processing 100 million plus traditional and emerging indicators every day, with median takedown times of phishing sites in less than 1 hour.
Thank you to the many customers, partners, and investors who’ve joined our team in the mission to combat social engineering threats. It’s still day 1 at Doppel, and we’re just getting started.

Announcing Script Summer ☀️
We've backed some exceptional undergrads like @transcend_io @joinbutler and are looking to back more!
$20k non-dilutive funding for technical undergrads & graduate students to go all-in on a project this summer, then $300k to take the next step. 👇
For DTC brands, the 3PL model is broken—and I’ve lived this problem for the last 12 years.
At @shyp (Non-Asset-Based) and Airhouse (a 4PL), I shipped 10M+ packages/yr and worked with dozens of 3PLs.
Airhouse ultimately failed due to poor performance by partner warehouses. 🧵
I had a dream.
A dream where Growth & Revenue teams could iterate on pricing in a matter of days, not months.
A dream we started building 9 mo ago, with the support of thousands of engineers, and we’re excited to launch on Product Hunt!

Today, we’re officially launching with $12 million in funding, two partnerships with patient advocacy organizations, and a growing community ready to build a new way to pursue cures to rare diseases vibebio.com
👏 @aloktayi, @joshuaforman on launching @vibe_bio, an innovative approach to curing rare diseases! Their insight is that the obstacle for most rare diseases is funding the drug development, not the drug development process themselves.

Excited to be supporting @greynguyen, @benjyang_ and the @starlight_money team. They make it dead simple for companies to open, onboard and manage their corporate crypto treasury. They've built a solution that is simple and delightful. We're proud to be investors (and a customer)!
Very excited to share the line up of amazing 💫 folks participating in our Founder Fellowship DAO. Even more excited for our founders. Should be a great group to learn from and support our teams.
1/ When we first announced the web3 Founder Fellowship, we included a teaser of some of the all-star contributors who would join the DAO to help fellows.
With the cohort now set, we're excited to share who the rest of the DAO members will be. 🧵
