Build lists:

• Start-ups at Rice
  • Case study/follow progress?
• Research the Technology Transfer Office!
• Build a timeline of things at Rice
• Find out who ranks universities, what their methodologies are, and whether we can get their data
• Work out how to quantify university ecosystem performance

Ranking universities

Possible metrics:

• No. classes, students trained, degree of training
• Relevant faculty and experts
• No. start-ups by students, faculty/staff, and alums
  • And value created!
  • Resources provided (flex-space, fab shops, etc.)

Lunch

We could do a monthly (?) lunch and invite alums.
