The AI-powered VentureWrench Library is an online curated library of resources to help entrepreneurs. Artificial Intelligence is being used in a whole array of applications, but the VentureWrench team decided to apply AI to help entrepreneurs to be more successful.

VentureWrench co-creator, Nicole Toomey Davis ran a funding program to support university startups and technology entrepreneurs for the State of Utah for a number of years.  She said her team frequently tried to compile lists of resources to help their entrepreneurs, but these lists quickly became out of date. Search engines yield millions, even hundreds of millions of results, but many of these are low quality or even exploitative. So the VentureWrench team decided to leverage artificial intelligence and advanced software to help entrepreneurs.

The VentureWrench Library was designed by the VentureWrench team, led by Brad Davis, our co-founder and CTO and with support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), to help entrepreneurs by identifying and curating the best resources to accelerate entrepreneurial success.  The VentureWrench Library uses 8 AI systems to evaluate potential resources and select the best information to help support and coach entrepreneurs. Thousands of high quality resources are grouped into key “action areas”, over 20 cateogires and over 90 sub-categories. With a few clicks, entrepreneurs can find problem solving resources from top sources.
