Other finalists included Advanced Enological Closures (UC Davis), Athleon (University of Washington), Cascade Clean Energy (Stanford University), City Media (UCLA), and Impel Neuropharma (University of Washington). ”Every year, the competing teams present more innovative ideas and stronger business plans than the previous year,“ said Tim Draper, managing director, DFJ. ”With a number of potentially successful business plans covering a wide range of industries, it always comes down to a tough choice, but this year, NeuroVigil stood out from the pack. We're excited to have chosen NeuroVigil, and we look forward to helping them flourish.“ ”We are honored to receive this recognition, especially given the strength of the other teams and the experience of the judging panel,“ said Dr. Philip Low, chief executive officer and founder of NeuroVigil. ”We are eager to work with the DFJ team and network to launch NeuroVigil into higher orbits.“ An audience of angel investors, venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, service providers, and others was in attendance, providing an excellent networking opportunity for all competitors.

    Oral History of William H. Draper III Interviewed by: John Hollar Recorded: April 14, 2011 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X6084.2011 © 2011 Computer History Museum Oral History of William H. Draper III Hollar: So Bill, here I think is the challenge. There's been a great oral history done of you at Berkeley; and then you've written your book. So there's a lot of great information about you on the record. So what I thought we would try to— Draper: That's scary. I hope I say it the same way. Hollar: Well, your version of it is on the record, that's for sure. So I wanted to cover about eight areas in the hour and a half that we have. Draper: Okay. Hollar: Which is quite a bit. But I guess that's also a way of saying—we can go into as much or as little detail as you want to. But the eight areas that I was most interested in covering are your early life and your education; your early career—and with that I mean Inland Steel and meeting Pitch Johnson, and Draper, Gaither & Anderson, that section. Draper: Good. Hollar: Then Draper & Johnson—you and Pitch really getting into it together; then, of course, Sutter Hill and that very incredible fifteen-year period. Draper: Yeah, that was a good period. Hollar: A little bit of what you call "the lost decade." Draper: Okay. Hollar: Then what I call the Draper Richards Renaissance. Draper: Good. Hollar: And kind of the second chapter of venture capital for you.

    The Bay Area Innovation System How the San Francisco Bay Area Became the World’s Leading Innovation Hub and What Will Be Necessary to Secure Its Future A Bay Area Science & Innovation Consortium Report produced by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute Principal Author Sean Randolph President & CEO Bay Area Council Economic Institute Contributing Author Olaf Groth CEO Emergent Frontiers Group LLC June 2012 Message from the BASIC Chairman For more than 50 years, the Bay Area has been a leading center for science and innovation and a global marketplace for the exchange of ideas, delivering extraordinary value for California, the nation and the world. Its success has been based on a unique confluence of research institutions, corporations, finance and people, in a culture that is open to the sharing of new ideas and willing to take significant risk to achieve extraordinary reward. The Bay Area innovation system is also highly integrated, with components that closely interact with and depend upon each other. The Bay Area Science and Innovation Consortium (BASIC), a partnership of the Bay Area’s leading public and private research organizations, has pre- pared this report to illustrate how the Bay Area’s innovation system works and to identify the issues that may impact its future success. Ensuring that success will require partnership between the public and private sectors, continued investment in the region’s core assets, and attention by state and federal policy makers. Mark Bregman Senior Vice President and CTO, Neustar, Inc.
