About this session
Stripe powers 78% of the Forbes AI 50, giving Stripe index-level visibility into the AI economy. AI companies are growing faster, selling globally by default, and monetizing earlier. See the data behind the growth: how AI has collapsed the cost of launching, how the fastest-growing companies are adapting their pricing, and the role agents are starting to play in commerce.
