Wow - Gamma raised $68M at a $2.1B valuation led by A16Z. That’s only ~3% dilution. They are profitable ($100M revenue w/ 50 employees) so didn’t need the money, could command what they wanted

Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
