Stanford’s StartX among region’s key university incubators

In a colorful office on the Peninsula, students and professors agonize over code and molecules late at night, occasionally interrupting work with quick bouts of Nerf gunplay and basketball.

This is StartX http://startx.stanford.edu/ , where a select group of Stanford University entrepreneurs try to turn apps or other inventions into businesses that will revolutionize society or make a killing on the stock market – or preferably both.
