How AI is changing
the economics of business.
The companies, business models, founders and competitive shifts emerging as artificial intelligence changes what it takes to build, operate and scale.
The one-person company is becoming a serious economic force
AI is reducing the need for capital, headcount and technical infrastructure — creating a new class of businesses that can grow without becoming large organizations.
What matters now.
AI is compressing the advantage of scale
Smaller companies can increasingly access capabilities that once required large teams, specialized talent and significant capital.
Why the next startup boom may look very different
AI is changing who can start a company, what they need to begin and how quickly they can test an idea.
The jobs AI changes first may not be the ones people expect
The near-term impact of AI may come less from replacing occupations and more from changing the economics of individual tasks.

We track where artificial intelligence is lowering barriers, creating new demand and opening markets that did not make economic sense before.
