EMC is hopping on the trend of large companies like Google and Motorola who have venture capital arms. These companies are looking to invest in startups who’s technologies, teams and business models can open new lines of business or bolster their current ones. EMC Ventures purportedly plans to invest in more than just startups that focus on business information services and solutions.

Scott Kirsner of the Globe reached out to EMC upon hearing the news (which was originally teased in VentureWire), but wasn’t able to get much more information out of the company. It looks like Boston entrepreneurs will have to wait to hear more.
