Interesting question. Where are the consumer (B2C) focused AI startups and why aren't the ones out there not being VC funded yet? Not sure I agree with the thesis of this Pitchbook article that: "Previous tech eras such as the rise of the internet or mobile targeted the consumer first and business later. Big consumer companies like Amazon and Uber led the initial wave of both of these technologies. And yet, in the age of AI, the reverse seems to be true." Because....I think the VC community learned the lesson that the pain points and high growth opportunities are primarily, especially early on, in the enterprise market. Tackle that first before risking taking on the capital intensive consumer market. https://lnkd.in/ecymkxp3
Where are all the consumer AI startups—and why aren’t VCs funding them?

pjz@movens.vc (15y+ startups&VC) -> AI/ML/edu/health/enterprise/cleantech & saas/marketplace product) | SEND PITCHDECK -> bit.ly/PitchMVC | serial podcaster | AI/fin/ad/datatech experience)
📊 A brand new HubSpot report throws light on how AI is revolutionising the Go-to-Market strategies of startups! Some key findings that caught my eye: - 86% of founders say AI has positively impacted their GTM strategy 🚀 - 57% have seen an increase in customer conversion rates thanks to AI 📈 - 62% use AI in marketing and customer service, 54% in sales - The most popular AI tools are ChatGPT, AI tools HubSpot and GitHub Copilot - 66% plan to hire AI specialists within the next year 👩💻👨💻 What intrigued me most is that startups with rapid growth and significant VC funding are likelier to have dedicated AI teams. This shows that investors are seeing the potential of AI to scale the business. As an early-stage VC (Movens Capital) investing in startups with an AI element, I see huge opportunities for startups that can effectively use AI in their GTM strategies. This levels the playing field and allows smaller teams to compete with the giants. And how are you using AI in your business? What opportunities and challenges do you see? #AIInnovation #AI #VC #Startup #VentureCapital #FutureOfBusiness link to the report in the comments

Another interesting perspective from Kyle Poyar on why there is a lack of innovation in the pricing of AI applications. I think Kyle is being gentle here. There is not only a lack of innovation in pricing, there is a lack of innovation in how value is being created and shared. It is still a few months before Ibbaka begins working on its AI monetization in 2025 survey, but when we do this will be a main focus. How is value being created. Without value creation there is not much need for pricing innovation.
AI products are often mind-blowing. Their pricing? Meh... New data from Emergence Capital shows: - 42% aren't monetizing their AI products - 28% charge on a usage-based model - 27% charge on a subscription model - Only 3% charge on a success or outcome-basis TL;DR - it looks a lot like traditional SaaS pricing, for better or worse. A few reasons why I think we've seen so little innovation: 1️⃣ Keeps it simple. The core objective for most AI applications is to get users to adopt their product. Buyers are familiar with paying a monthly fee per user. 2️⃣ Usage-based or success-based pricing is hard to do. Let's be real—usage-based or success-based pricing is not easy to implement. They both require a strong data foundation, for instance, which is something many startups do not have early on. 3️⃣ Hard to quantify value yet. It's very likely that some of the AI apps are delivering value that way surpasses the price they are charging. But for many of the AI companies, it is still hard for them to understand exactly how much value they are creating and how they best capture it. 4️⃣ Don't want to limit adoption. Innovating on pricing can limit adoption of the product. Right now startups want to get as much usage as possible as they build out their products. 5️⃣ Not focused on profitability. Although the ZIRP days are over, the objective for a lot of the AI startups is not to be profitable, but to show that they can make money and grow with customers over time. --- The name of the game right now seems to be: (1) make pricing predictable and (2) don't make it a barrier to using your product. Here’s a framework for figuring out where to start. I'm betting that this opens the door for a *second wave* of AI apps that will innovate on both their products AND how they monetize them. PS - Palle & I unpacked this topic in Growth Unhinged. It's already the 2nd most-read post in 3+ years writing the newsletter.
