A young snake sheds its skin every two to four weeks. @thisisgrantlee , Co-Founder & CEO of @GammaApp, used that image at RAISE Summit to describe what building in AI actually feels like right now. Not a single launch. Not a pivot. A constant cycle of invention to reinvention, shedding and rebuilding faster than most companies can keep up. His thesis: models are the steel of this generation. But steel was never the moat. It's general-purpose, it's commoditising, and open source is closing the gap fast. The edge belongs to whoever turns that raw material into something purpose-built. Gamma has lived that. $100M ARR. 70 million users. A team of 50 people. And yesterday, an acquisition of Accel-backed design startup Lica World, building out their own design research lab as the product expands beyond presentations into the full visual stack. On the human side, Grant was clear: the best salespeople don't win on efficiency. They win on relationships. The goal was never to replace that, it was to clear everything else out of the way. The snake keeps shedding. That's the point. Full conversation on our YouTube channel:
