Make the page AI reads say plainly what Emory University does for founders

What to do

1. Open https://hatchery.emory.edu/programs/accelerator.html. AI cites it more than any other page on your site.
2. Near the top, say in plain sentences who it is for, what a founder or a company gets from you, and how to reach the right person.
3. Check the engines' reading against reality. In our reading of the answers, they say: “Its competitions are restricted to Emory students, not public entry.” If that is right, say it yourself. If it is wrong, correct it in one sentence on this page.
4. Keep it as text on the page, not inside an image, a PDF or a slide deck, so the engines can read it.

The paragraph, written from your own site

Who Emory University is for: Emory students from all nine schools, plus faculty forming start-ups through the Office of Technology Transfer; the 2026 Accelerator was also open to founders with no Emory affiliation.
What they get: Cost not stated; the Sandbox page lists $50,000+ in funding available to Sandbox members.
How to start: Students join Sandbox through a membership form during rolling cycles; the Accelerator takes applications each spring; questions go to [email protected] at https://hatchery.emory.edu/programs/venture-support.html.
What it has done: The Hatchery reports 9,228 total program participants, 302 student ventures supported and $10.2 million in venture funds raised (no year given); the Office of Technology Transfer counts 148 total start-ups, 5 of them in fiscal year 2025.

Why it helps

People's questions bring up Emory University, and AI doesn't always recommend it. When they pass it over, they usually give a reason, and it is most often about fit or terms.

A clear page means AI describes you the way you would, and sends people to the right door.

The questions this is for

• Which Atlanta universities run hackathons or pitch competitions that are open to the public?

What the engines say now

“Emory’s Pitch the Summit is strong but currently restricted to degree-seeking Emory students.”

How you'll know it worked

In December we ask the same questions again. On these questions, watch whether the engines describe Emory University the way this page does.
