“AI is not just giving founders better tools. It is changing the economics of venture creation itself.”
Hyunjin Kim — Founder & Chair, INSEAD AI Venture Lab

Research Backing
“AI is not just lowering costs — it is raising the ceiling of firm performance. Our research shows that firms that learn to reorganize around AI discover 44% more use cases, generate nearly 2x the revenue, and need 40% less capital. The Sprint is where this science meets the field.”
