Media, ideas & convening

A clearer conversation about AI and capital.

AIx2 brings research, operators, and investment leaders together to make AI transformation practical, rigorous, and relevant.

From global stages to focused research sessions, we share the work shaping the next operating model for capital markets.

Selected perspective

Ideas with a point of view.

Our media work translates complex AI and investment questions into conversations that help leaders decide what to do next.

A point of view earned in practice

Research-led perspective for leaders navigating transformation and capital.

AIx2 brings together Stanford-trained AI researchers, PhDs and engineers from leading universities, and experience across top-tier consulting and technology organizations.

Our work sits where enterprise transformation meets the capital markets — informed by close work with general partners, limited partners, and the institutions allocating capital to what comes next.

We contribute this perspective through keynote conversations, executive briefings, and the Stanford AI and Investment Series.
