Indexing the AI economy

Indexing the AI economy

Stripe analysis of payment trends finds AI companies are growing their revenue and expanding their geographic footprints far faster than companies in earlier waves of tech innovation.

As the financial services platform for 78% of the Forbes AI 50* – including companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Midjourney, and Cohere – Stripe is well positioned to see how rapidly AI start-ups are turning demand into revenue. To better understand this dynamic, we analysed payment data from the top 100 AI companies on our platform.

We’ve observed three key trends shaping the rapid growth of the AI economy:

  • AI start-ups are hitting important revenue milestones much faster than previous generations of tech start-ups, including SaaS.
  • AI companies are expanding internationally right from the start, quickly becoming global businesses.
  • Innovative business models and monetisation strategies are emerging quickly, driving accelerated revenue growth and adoption.
