The Surprising Way AI Expands Markets In...

NATHANIEL WHITTEMORE
About this episode

AI music startup Suno has quietly become one of the most successful companies in the entire generative AI space — $150 million in ARR, 60% margins, and millions of users creating songs for everything from podcasts and ads to lullabies and dinner parties. In today’s episode, NLW explores how Suno’s rise reveals a bigger story: AI isn’t just automating creative work — it’s expanding who gets to create and why we make things in the first place. Plus, headlines on SoftBank’s $30B OpenAI deal, Mistral’s new enterprise control center, and Stability AI’s partnership with EA.
