How can you make money from generative AI? A new report by firstminute capital deep-dives into the opportunities and applications of generative AI, and highlights some of the 210+ startups in the category.

Generative AI is a field of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating new and unique outputs, such as images, text, music, and more. 

With the advancement of deep learning and neural networks – and breakthroughs in areas such as computer vision and natural language processing – the potential applications of generative AI are wide-ranging, from art and entertainment to science and medicine. 

Text reading a little dry? Generative AI, specifically OpenAI’s conversational chatbot, ChatGPT, wrote the above introduction. But you can ask it to write a tabloid-style intro too.

From art to advertising to financial modelling, generative AI has the potential to augment anything that involves human creative endeavour and looks set to be a core driver of the next decade of enterprise and consumer products. 

ChatGPT hit one million users within five days of its release – a feat that took Twitter two years and Facebook 10 months.

Venture capital money has been pouring into this category ($50b in 2022) and companies have been raising huge rounds. Emad Mostaque’s Stability AI raised $101m in its Seed funding round at a $1b valuation in October 2022.

So how can you tap into this booming category and make money from generative AI?
