A Letter from the Founder

Leslie Mertz, Founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of The Denominator

The AI economy does not wait for certainty. Its advantage belongs to the leaders who see each shift first and act with conviction. The Denominator gives executives the intelligence of the AI economy at the speed it moves. Each day we combine news intelligence from across every sector it touches; operational intelligence, enhanced by AI, that teams can put to use immediately; benchmarks that reveal what AI truly costs and returns; and thought leadership focused on the decisions ahead.

The Den provides what every pivotal decision requires: a clear, objective measure of where to deploy AI and what it returns. We serve as the bridge between the leaders who direct enterprise investment in the $7.5 trillion AI economy and its most consequential companies. We connect CEOs, CFOs and CIOs with the companies building the models, chips, capacity, infrastructure and agents, so that both sides move faster and with greater conviction.

AI gives every leader an opportunity to recalibrate and realize their vision faster than ever before. We built The Denominator to help you seize that opportunity, today. Join us.
