Alysha Meloche

About

entrepreneurship, innovation, and the evolving role of AI in business, and serves as an Assistant Professor of Practice at the Villanova University School of Business. She focuses on how founders build meaningful ventures by combining human insight with emerging technologies. Her work examines how entrepreneurs are using AI to accelerate everything from opportunity identification and market validation to product development and strategic decision-making. Meloche challenges the idea that AI replaces creativity, instead arguing that the most successful founders use it to expand their thinking, test ideas faster, and uncover insights that would otherwise be missed. She brings a practitioner-oriented perspective on how startups and organizations can leverage AI for real competitive advantage—not just efficiency.
