Jawbone founder Hosain Rahman developed his microphone tech while still a Stanford EE I believe. There are also the Quantum Computing startups to spin out of Yale CS. Gene editing pioneered at MIT Broad Institute. And on and on. Regarding AI / ML as a service specifically. Many startups may find themselves facing the same issues plaguing IBM Watson. Deep learning considers trillion dimensional spaces. Most enterprise prediction problems are simply not of an astrophysical scale. And where domain specific expertise is required. Such as Google Maps use of CV in rendering highres satellite image data to SVG for the browser. Simply having grad student level familiarity with OpenCV might not be sufficient.
