Happy Wellness Group - Lunch 'N Learn: The Hidden Costs of AI
Join us for a focused Lunch ‘N Learn on what AI actually costs to run. As founders and investors race to build AI into products and operations, the price tag rarely ends at the subscription. In this session, we’ll unpack the expenses that don’t show up in the pitch: rising usage and compute bills, integration and data cleanup, security and compliance exposure, vendor lock-in, and the team time it takes to make these tools reliable at scale.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How to evaluate AI investments with clear eyes
Where the real costs hide
How to budget for them before they compound
What signals separate AI that drives margin from AI that quietly erodes it
Hosted by Happy Wellness Group, this conversation will be led by:
Sarah Heering — Executive Advisor & AI Strategist
Designed for founders, operators, and investors, this session will offer a practical look at how to evaluate AI investments with clear eyes: where the real costs hide, how to budget for them before they compound, and what signals separate AI that drives margin from AI that quietly erodes it.
