Georgian Partners, a growth-stage B2B investor helping companies scale via its AI Lab, launched its June 2025 Wave 2 AI, Applied Benchmark Research. The report, launched in partnership with B2B research firm NewtonX, engaged 612 executives from B2B companies to determine the current state of AI in business and its impact on performance. New for Wave 2, Georgian's AI Lab has partnered with 9 global organizations in an effort to broaden the scope of the report to drive more objective discussions about AI adoption using quantified benchmarks for B2B growth stage and enterprise companies around the world.
