My understanding is that this is a place to connect scientists to startups. like angel list for PhDs.
things to think about: 1. niche: different industries have radically different requirements so pick a good one (ex: Pharma vs Geophysicists) 2. security: can't really show off things that may be under NDA or propreitary (that's where the money is) 3. MVP: barebones FB for scientists?
