The AI Briefing by Startup Grind
****NO RSVP ON MEETUP. FOLLOWING LINK IN DESCRIPTION TO ATTEND****
The AI Briefing is a new 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](https://www.pwc.com/us/en/tech-effect/ai-analytics/ai-predictions.html) (*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 discuss the Shadow AI reality: 75% of workers are completing tasks they previously couldn’t do. And how IT is scrambling to govern it.

**? 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.
**? Where:** Location on approval ?️ **When:** Friday, February 13th | 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
