This paper explores the dual-edged role of AI in fuelling startup growth while also introducing complex challenges. On the one hand, AI enables startups to enhance customer experience, optimize operations, and develop data-driven products and services, often with limited resources. It empowers lean teams to compete with larger enterprises by automating tasks, providing predictive insights, and fostering rapid experimentation. On the other hand, startups face significant hurdles in adopting AI, including limited access to quality data, scarcity of AI talent, high development costs, and ethical concerns such as bias and transparency. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of how AI is impacting and challenging day to day operations.
