Think Stanford University is becoming a startup factory? You may be right. The school, along with Stanford Hospitals & Clinics, is investing $1 million to $2 million each month into student and alumni companies participating in StartX, a campus-affiliated accelerator program. That pace of investments may not let up for at least three years, says Stanford chief financial officer Randy Livingston. 没错，斯坦福大学（Stanford University）正在变成创业工厂。该大学与斯坦福医院与门诊部（Stanford Hospitals & Clinics）每月将向参加StartX的学生和毕业生创建的公司投资100万至200万美元。StartX是斯坦福大学附属的创业加速器项目。斯坦福大学首席财务官兰迪o利文斯顿表示，这种节奏的投资将至少持续三年。 Think Stanford University is becoming a startup factory?

In addition to the fund, Stanford provided a $3.6 million grant to the accelerator program to be doled out over three years. The cash allowed StartX, a nonprofit, to move into a rented 13,000-square-foot office and deck it out with a biotech lab, hardware workshop, coding rooms, event space, outdoor patio, and “pitch elevator,” a working elevator promoted as a place to practice your investor pitch. |
