Overview

EmPath builds a skills-inference and upskilling platform that analyzes employees' work activity to identify current skills and gaps, then recommends courses and career-path road maps. The product uses machine-learning techniques to infer skills from corporate digital footprints, a capability led by CTO Adam Blum. EmPath is deployed enterprise-wide at AT&T and plans to add three Fortune 1,000 customers by the end of the month. The company is led by founder Felix Ortiz III and counts former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez as a co-founder and prominent supporter. EmPath aims to help companies accelerate talent development and reskilling, especially as corporate training budgets tighten. Financially, the startup has secured early-stage capital to support growth, having raised seed financing earlier this year.
