UT needs a wider incubation, financing, and entrepreneurial (undergrad/grad-student/community) ecosystem like Stanford. Critical mass of players brings with it more interested parties, and with it, that elusive "innovation". It should be okay to make money, okay to turn a PhD thesis into a startup, okay to launch side projects, and cool to fail and learn lessons. Not all paths must lead to a "corporate career".
- mistymountains 3y agoIs this your diagnosis? That things are more corporate in terms of outcome? Genuinely curious, as a Bay Area native, why UT/Texas can’t begin to compete given how many issues face SF currently.
- KRAKRISMOTT 3y agoAustin's native industry is oil and gas, not internet. The software tech sector is relatively new.
- TexanFeller 3y agoOil and gas? I haven't met a single person working in that in this town. You have us confused with Houston.
