We have reviewed your letter regarding our Information Statement on Schedule 14C concerning the following comments. Under each comment we have responded and have provided additional information to bring about a resolution of these matters.

1. | It appears that you have not previously filed proxy or information statements relating to annual meetings of shareholders nor have you filed current reports on Form 8-K, as addressed below. Furthermore, we note that in February and March 2014,you filed all of your quarterly and annual reports for periods sinceJune30, 2010. To the extent you have failed to meet your filing requirements by not timely filing your periodic reports and by not remaining current with respect to proxy/information statements or current reports on Form 8-K, it appears that you should revise your information statement to address this non-compliance and discuss any remedial steps you intend to take to addressyourdelinquent filingstatus. |
We have noted your comments and added the following disclosure:
Empirical Ventures, Inc. ceased filing reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended following the filing of the quarterly report for the period ended March 31, 2010. Subsequently, in March and April of 2014, Empirical Ventures, Inc. filed the annual and quarterly reports to bring the periodic reports up to date. However, during the period between 2010 and 2014, Empirical Ventures, Inc. did not file proxy or information statements pursuant to Schedule 14 or any current reports on Form 8-K. Empirical Ventures, Inc., as a remedial step, has filed a current report on Form 8-K to report certain material events that presently impact our company. In addition, management is committed to file timely annual and quarterly reports , proxy or information statements pursuant to Schedule 14 , as well as current reports on Form 8-K as required.

We have revised the disclosure to indicate that the shares will not issued until the action underlying the Information Statement is effective and revised the disclosure to indicate the prospective change of control. The change of control disclosure is as follows:
Change of Control
On February 11, 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive license agreement with PsiTech Corporation and on March 6, 2014 entered into an amended license agreement with Psitech, and on March 27, 2014 the License Agreement was subsequently amended for the use of Psitech's proprietary Mobile Marketing Platform called Go-Page, in North America. In consideration of the licenses granted and other undertakings by Licensor hereunder, Licensee shall pay Licensor a License Fee in the amount of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000) and, following the effectiveness of the reverse split of our common stock, 20,000,000 restricted common shares. Consequently, upon issuance of the post-split 20,000,000 restricted common shares, PsiTech Corporation will be a control shareholder, subject to dilution of voting rights from the preferred stock to be issued pursuant to employment agreements, and any additional issuance of common stock.
Following the issuance of the shares underlying this agreement, we will file a current report on Form 8-K to reflect any change in control.
