1. unfair and uninformed comparisons: Google: worth 800B+, 100K + employees Cisco: worth 200B+, 75K+ employees Hexagon Bio: worth unknown, 23 employees (LI) Orca: worth unknown, 26 employees (LI)
2. Missing major contributions, such as those from Steve Quake, since he arguably lead to the founding of actually valuable biotech startups such as Natera and Fluidgm.
3. Leaves out Daphne Koller??
4. Finally, papers != patents/IP/new companies.
Would be much more useful to connect Stanford labs to patents/IP that are licensed to startups.
Maybe back to the drawing board on this one.
