Market Valuation

The AI sector’s valuation is debated, with some fearing a bubble. Magnus Grimeland of Antler argues against this, citing rapid adoption across industries unlike the slower cloud transition. He emphasizes real revenues, exemplified by OpenAI’s $1 billion ARR in 2023. Antler’s portfolio includes AI success stories, like Lovable surpassing $100 million ARR in eight months. Grimeland highlights the market entry of DeepSeek, suggesting smaller AI firms can challenge incumbents with strong teams and business models. Changing consumer behavior, impacted Google search, further fuels AI’s rise.
