We could do that, if we could get an idea of the number of years that Foxconn is likely to continue doing business in Wisconsin. I'd imagine no one really knows that right now. So if we have a 50 year "y combinator" type fund, it might be a little unfair to compare the money generated from the companies started through that fund to the money generated by Foxconn if Foxconn only stays in Wisconsin for... say... 10 years. We just have no good data on that. How long will they stay? My COMPLETELY UNEDUCATED guess would be more than 5 years, but likely much less than 50 years. We could compare the income taxes generated, but my gut tells me that doing so would put the young STEM and business types even further ahead in terms of ROI. That's just a guess though.
