The AI Briefing by Startup Grind
The AI Briefing is a recurring AI deep-dive for decision-makers.
Each month, we select one high-signal industry report, circulate it in advance, and meet to cut through the noise.
This Month’s Source: 2026 AI Business Predictions (PWC 2026)
Most AI initiatives pay for themselves, but fail to drive actual transformation. Join the AI Briefing to become one of the few front-runners who are able to capture top-line growth by moving past sporadic, ground-up experiments.
The Mission: Focus on the shift from exploratory pilots to a disciplined march to value. We'll use the latest PwC benchmarks to identify the levers required to turn agentic AI into an engine for revenue growth.
📊 The Format:
10-Minute Executive Download: A rapid-fire summary of the report’s critical metrics (e.g., the 8x growth in message volume and the rise of non-technical coding).
Cross-Pollinated Debate: Founders share what they are shipping; Executives share what they are actually deploying (and blocking).
Operational Reality Check: We'll confront the 80/20 Reality; technology provides only 20% of the value in an AI initiative. The remaining 80% is the difficult, manual work of redesigning your actual business processes to accommodate agentic labor.
🤝 Who Should Attend:
Enterprise Executives: Benchmark your adoption curve. Are you in the AI Leader bracket seeing 1.7x revenue growth, or falling behind?
Founders & Builders: Stop guessing what enterprises want. See the exact use cases (IT, Marketing, HR) that are scaling right now.
Operators: Learn how non-technical teams are using AI to write code and automate their own workflows.
