Same AI Tools, Nearly Double the Revenue

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Researchers gave 515 young companies around the world the same package: access to leading AI tools, technical training, mentors and API credits.

Half of them, picked at random, also got examples of how other organizations had redesigned their workflows and business models around AI. Then every company was asked where AI could help in its own work.

Compared with the others, the companies that saw the examples:

identified 44 percent more ways to use AI
completed 12 percent more tasks
were 18 percent more likely to land paying customers
made nearly double the revenue, and needed significantly less outside capital

The study is by Hyunjin Kim and Dahyeon Kim of INSEAD, and by Rembrand Koning.¹

Cost-Cutting Has a Floor. Growth Does Not.

Ask a room of executives what AI will do for the business and the answers converge: lower costs, leaner operations, fewer people doing more. Efficiency is the reflex because efficiency is legible. A board can see a cost line fall. Growth is harder to point at, slower to attribute, and easier to leave for later.

The reflex understates the prize. In a recent analysis, researchers at UCLA and Wharton broke firm value into its parts—revenue, expenses, valuation multiple—and ran AI’s effect through each¹. The efficiency case held up and capped out fast. The growth case did not.

Why the Best AI Companies Are Open

In May 2022, a small company in Paris closed a Series C round valuing it at $2 billion. The product was free. Anyone could download it. Anyone could fork it. By August 2023, the same company raised another $235 million at a $4.5 billion valuation. By August 2024, it was profitable.

The company is Hugging Face. The product is open-source AI infrastructure. And the strategic principle behind its rise is one that most executives still get wrong.
