Climate Week Edition
For twenty years, SaaS companies built their businesses around recurring subscriptions. AI is breaking that model, from both directions at once.
On one side, seat licenses are turning into token pricing, shifting cost and unpredictability onto customers who now pay for usage instead of access. On the other, inference costs are quietly becoming one of the biggest line items on the P&L, driven by compute and energy demands that show no sign of slowing, a rising cost companies absorb before it ever reaches a customer's invoice.
Two different expenses, pulling in two different directions. Founders and finance leaders are stuck in the middle, trying to build a pricing model that survives both.
Hosted during NYC Climate Week, this conversation sits right at that intersection: as AI scales, so does its energy footprint, and the businesses built on top of it will have to reckon with both.
Who should attend: Software development firms and AI product builders. Series A+ founders scaling SaaS. Also relevant for product leaders, CFOs, finance execs, and investors watching this space.
