Cover Story: AI startups, being companies in the AI sector and fundamentally startups, inherently require digital transformation. This paper represents a comprehensive and integrated study that goes beyond the individual, separate investigations previously conducted on the success factors of AI, startups, and digital transformation. The research aims to identify common success factors, such as the intersection, within a comprehensive and holistic framework. Each success factor is analyzed using the Ser-M framework, considering the subject, the environments, resources, and the mechanisms among them, with the goal of minimizing biases. Furthermore, a control group consisting of AI experts and general business professionals is employed to contrast success factors. View this paper
