How Sundial Helped Gamma Grow from Startup to over 50 Million Users
When Sundial first partnered with Gamma, a promising startup looking to disrupt Powerpoint by leveraging AI to help anyone create professional, engaging presentations, it was just beginning its journey with hundreds of thousands of users and ambitious plans.
Fast forward a few years, and Gamma has skyrocketed to over 50 million users, achieving profitability with just 28 employees. What helped them get there? Sundial, an opinionated, intelligent analytics platform trusted by rapidly scaling tech companies.
“We partnered with Sundial very early in our journey," says Jon Noronha, co-founder of Gamma. "As we grew, Sundial effortlessly scaled with our analytical needs."
Today, Sundial handles Gamma’s metric data transformations, business intelligence, and product analytics—all within a single, powerful platform.
"One of the best things about Sundial is that it combines the business and product analytics worlds. Tasks I previously had to split between Looker and Amplitude, I now easily handle with Sundial," explains Max Blaha, Growth PM at Gamma.
Trustworthy Insights, Daily Impact
Gamma’s founders came from deep data backgrounds themselves, having worked previously at a data start-up. Yet, managing vast amounts of data quickly became a herculean task. Ensuring accuracy and actionable insights is crucial but notoriously challenging.
"We trust what’s on Sundial more than we trust wading through our own tables," says Jon. "The Sundial team is stellar—they are true thought partners, have crafted a high-quality product, and help us ensure we’re getting the most valuable insights from our data."
Sundial quickly became essential to Gamma's daily operations, enabling fast monitoring and intuitive ad hoc analysis. With Sundial, Gamma’s team can instantly grasp the overall health of their organization, as well as diagnose issues through one-click analyses like determining “Why did new subscribers dip?” and “What actions most lead to subscriber conversion?
"Sundial gives me the heartbeat of our organization. The first thing I do when I start my day is check it," Max adds. "It makes tracking and diagnosing issues incredibly straightforward."
Doing More with Less
Gamma embodies a new Silicon Valley ethos: lean, efficient, and profitable. Sundial is part of the modern stack of AI tools that allows small teams to have the leverage that was previously reserved for much larger organizations.
"We've been able to delay building a full data team because of Sundial," Jon explains. "Their platform takes care of much of our data engineering and analytics workloads, allowing us to operate leaner."
With Sundial, every product decision-maker can be their own analyst. Trusting Sundial with their data gave the Gamma team the space to double down on what they do best—bold design, sharp product decisions, and fast, focused execution. Gamma's extraordinary success proves the power of having the right analytics partner from the very beginning.
"Sundial isn't just a vendor. They're an important partner in our success journey," concludes Jon.
With Sundial's analytics platform and dedicated team by their side, Gamma is set for even greater heights.
