AI startups are commercialized at a dizzying pace.

The graph shows the cumulative number of

startups in the United States that were commercialized, with and without AI, from 2000 to
2015. The number of AI startups increased from 250 in 2000 to over 1,250 in 2015, while all
startups rose from 5,000 to over 15,000.

The graph shows that AI startups are growing faster than all startups. In 2000, AI startups made
up 5% of all startups. By 2015, AI startups made up 8% of all startups. This suggests that AI is
becoming increasingly important in the startup ecosystem.

The rapid growth of AI startups is likely due to several factors, including increasing investment
in AI. According to a report by PwC, global investment in AI startups reached $21.5 billion in
2018, up from $1.7 billion in 2013. This increase in investment is likely due to the growing
potential of AI to disrupt a wide range of industries.
