Where is Stanford in this list? It seems like they're counting startups that come out of university-sponsored research instead of startups that come from university people.
- kevinalexbrown 15y agoI think that's where the "spinning off" comes from? I mean Standford University didn't exactly "spin off" Google. Edit: very wrong about the above.
- rdouble 15y agoYeah they did...
- kevinalexbrown 15y agoWas the university itself really involved in the business itself, giving lots of assistance to Brin/Page? I mean I know it hosted the original site or whatever, but I was under the impression that they weren't super-involved in the business side.
- rdouble 15y agoStanford owns the PageRank patent and licenses it to Google.
