## What is the AI-Driven Enterprise?

The AI-Driven Enterprise (AIDE) is an organizational form that combines the global ambition of innovation-driven enterprises with the lean operational footprint of small and medium businesses, using AI at the core of market research, product development, go-to-market, and operations. The model produces ultra-lean ventures that can achieve outsized revenue with minimal headcount.
