AWS Founders Circle: AI Tokenomics brings together a curated group of founders, CTOs, and technical leaders who are deep in the same challenge: making the economics of inference work at the core of their product. This is a peer-driven afternoon for builders who are actively shaping how AI-native companies price, optimise, and scale around token costs, and turn that into sustainable business models and pricing power.
