Matteo Achilli, with Egomnia on the BBC
IN A VIDEO FOR THE BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION, A BOCCONI STUDENT RECOUNTS HIS EXPERIENCE AS A STARTUPPER. HIS INVENTION PROVIDES A WAY TO PROVIDE A NUMERICAL SNAPSHOT OF A PERSON'S CURRICULUM VITAEIn 2012, at age twenty, Matteo Achilli founded his startup, Egomnia, a platform whose goal is to facilitate a meeting between the demand for employment of young graduates and the offer of companies. Egomnia is based on an algorithm: by evaluating the candidate’s curriculum, it condenses the experience of the person into a score.
Today, two years after the launch, the BBC has decided to tell the story of Matteo, who is studying economics and management at Bocconi University. He did it in the video series "The Next Billionaires", retracing with him the steps of a company that has 300 thousand subscribers in Italy and whose founder (Matteo), wants to expand overseas (here the link to the video). "Sometimes I forget that I am 22 years old," says the young entrepreneur. "I grew faster than my peers; sometimes I'd like to have the same life as my university colleagues, just thinking about exams. But Egomnia is my big chance, and I’m rolling with it."
