As someone who works at a startup with 3 MIT graduates (CEO and CTO among them), I'm going to say fun read, but not really grounded in reality. We have way more marketing than engineering and no phds. I guess we run like the 'Stanford' startup.
The difference is more of a function of the nature of business being built.
Some fields require a lot of investment to come up with the product to sell. I worked at IBM research years back, They spend a lot of money on a lot of things that didn't pan out to get the profitable invention. Labs are expensive.
