Founder in San Francisco.
Three years ago, I was a 19-year old on a call with @thisisgrantlee trying to pitch him an influencer marketing campaign. We were just a small one-person agency trying to pitch to a Silicon Valley startup to trust us with their growth. A few days later, Grant took a bet on this young agency. My very first yes. At the time, they had 3M users and we'd just started managing their Creator Program. One viral video led to another and 3 years later, they're still one of our biggest partners at AKG. Today @GammaApp is at 100M+ users and $100M ARR with a team of around 50, and it's honestly been one of the privileges of building AKG to have a front-row seat to that run. So at SF Tech Week this October, I'm sitting down with @thisisgrantlee, for an unfiltered conversation about how that actually happened. Which channels moved the numbers. How the creator engine ran inside a company scaling that fast. What he'd do differently starting today. It's the Fireside for AI founders and marketers. And if you see me or the team around, feel free to come say hi! Spots are limited and approval-only. Link in comments. If you had told 19-year-old Aryan that this would be his life, he'd chuckle and say I knew it... but deep down, this one feels different. See you all in San Francisco 馃嚭馃嚫! @a16z
