IRVINE, CA – July 16, 2025 – EON AI Ventures, in partnership with EON Reality, the world leader in AI-assisted Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality-based knowledge transfer for industry and education, today announced the launch of an unprecedented AI Entrepreneur Development Program designed to transform top university students into successful AI company founders in just six months. The program, launching August 2025, offers elite students free access to intensive training, cutting-edge development tools, and immediate market distribution through EON’s global network of 136+ million users.
“We’re fundamentally changing how AI entrepreneurs are created,” said Dan Lejerskar, Founder of EON AI Ventures. “Instead of hoping students will figure out entrepreneurship on their own, we’re providing a systematic, proven pathway from university to funded AI company. This isn’t just education—it’s venture engineering.”
Revolutionary Six-Month Transformation
The program represents a radical departure from traditional business education, offering participants:
Phase 1 – Free Intensive Learning (Months 1-3):
- Real-world rotations within a global technology company
- Hands-on experience in product development, sales, marketing, and legal operations
- Training on proven methodologies from successful AI unicorns
- Elite assessment and team formation through proprietary AI-powered evaluation
Phase 2 – Venture Creation (Months 4-6):
- Guided development of participant-owned AI companies
- Access to advanced no-code AI development platforms
- Built-in distribution to massive global user network
- Direct pathway to international investor introductions
“Students don’t just learn about entrepreneurship—they live it,” the announcement continued. “They work inside real business operations, then apply that knowledge to build their own companies with world-class tools and support.”
Elite Selection Process
The program employs a sophisticated AI-powered assessment system to identify the top 1% of applicants based on:
- Cognitive ability and problem-solving speed
- Technical aptitude and system learning capability
- Entrepreneurial mindset including grit and resilience
- Team compatibility for optimal co-founder formation
Only students who demonstrate exceptional potential across all criteria are invited to participate in the intensive program.
Targeting Critical AI Opportunities
Unlike traditional accelerators that accept any idea, participants are assigned specific, high-value challenges based on analysis of 36 successful AI unicorns. Focus areas include:
- B2B Automation & Infrastructure – Building the foundational tools that power other businesses Complex Enterprise Solutions – Automating high-value, knowledge-intensive workflows
- Local Data Advantages – Leveraging unique regional datasets for competitive advantage
- Partnership-Led Growth – Distribution through strategic industry relationships
“We’ve reverse-engineered the DNA of billion-dollar AI companies,” explained a program spokesperson. “Instead of students guessing what to build, we assign them proven opportunity areas with clear paths to success.”
Global University Partnership Initiative
The program is actively establishing partnerships with leading universities worldwide, offering academic institutions:
- Enhanced career opportunities for top computer science and engineering students
- Access to cutting-edge AI entrepreneurship curriculum
