Most of the tech industry in fact came out of that government funded research. I bet half of the people working for In-Q-Tel [1][2] and similar gov VC funded companies don't even understand that relationship. I should add that even if a company is not listed, it does not mean some of the VC funding did not come from one of the gov VC's.
