Today, 67% of college students say, they want to be an entrepreneur as their career ambition. EMG’s mission is to help democratize entrepreneurship globally through its platform and service offerings as AI will facilitate a massive increase in the number of new entrepreneurs due to the cost and complexity of starting a business becoming more attainable.

We are proud to work with them as they leverage our patent-pending AI enabled entrepreneurship platform at EMG.AI in our mission to help democratize entrepreneurship. Carter continued with, “We hope to support students not only in developing winning pitch competition ideas, but in ultimately launching companies that give back to the university ecosystem and inspire future entrepreneurs.” Dave Taddei, CSO and CAIO, of EMG and Villanova Alumni ’93 and ’99 (MBA), stated, “As a graduate of Villanova, I am proud to be able to help my Alma Mater continue to innovate and deliver a world-class entrepreneur experience for students across the University.”
Ann Goody added, “At Villanova’s Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, we are always looking for tools that meet students where they are and accelerate their path from idea to impact. We worked closely with EMG.AI to help shape their venture validation and customer discovery phases based on Villanova’s entrepreneurship curriculum, and we are excited to pilot the platform with competitors in this year’s Villanova Student Entrepreneurship Competition. This kind of AI-powered, structured support complements the hands-on coaching and community we have built here, and we look forward to seeing what our students can build with it.”
