In our company, and this comes from Stanford's biodesign program, you do not fall in love with the technology. You fall in love with the unmet market. You fall in love with the unmet need. You should be agnostic about the technology. You shouldn't care at all.

And if you need to throw your entire technology out the window to come up with something better, that's completely fine because your success was never tied to your tech. It was always tied to technology.

Yeah, well, one of the things that scares people about leaving medicine or going to Stanford's program or then leaving the program is, what am I going to do about my deal flow? It's also why people move out to Silicon Valley. It's this idea that I want to be exposed to lots of opportunities. So that area of the country is the best place for that.
