Yeah, Akamai, Google, to some extent Bose come to mind.
Most PhD theses would NOT become companies, so this is good advice for a PhD student but not for a founder. If a founder finds a PhD thesis that is worth productionizing, then the fact that it was a PhD thesis is irrelevant.
- philipov 9y agoThe advice is "Don't productionize your PhD" thesis," so I think it is in fact aimed at PhD students in the exact spirit you pointed out, not founders surveying the academic field.
