Kudos Steve! This is a wonderful thing for entrepreneurship and innovation in general. The NSF is the largest "VC" in the world. Their "fund" is $8B per year!

Kudos Steve! This is a wonderful thing for entrepreneurship and innovation in general. The NSF is the largest "VC" in the world. Their "fund" is $8B per year! And they give out 10,000 grants to the smartest scientists in the country. Minus overhead, that's an average of 400-500K per grant! I can't wait to see what type of companies this program produces.
