Breakdown by business model

Like tech companies, AI companies can also be classified by the size of the businesses they target:

Consumers (B2C)
B2B
- SMEs
- Mid-market (Companies with hundreds of millions in revenue)
- Enterprise (Forbes 2000 or at least $1 billion in revenue)

Though most AI startups, specifically in industries such as insurance, retail, healthcare, and banking, focus on enhancing customer experience through the guidance of data and analytics, they promote their products for businesses rather than consumers.

In other words, most AI companies are B2B-focused. According to Asgard’s research, which is a venture fund for AI companies, 64% of AI companies are B2B. However, their calculation methodology doesn’t look 100% accurate since there are numerous B2B companies such as OJO Labs (in real estate) and Personetics Technologies (in Fintech) where the research below included them in the B2C environment. Therefore, we assume the ratio of B2B AI startups is higher than 64% of the AI ecosystem.
