well what if it's 20% of the National University of Singapore? That's not exactly a big name school in the Bay Area. (By now I have an idea which company this is)
NUS and Berkeley have both the similar number of students ~30,000. Berkeley might be good for getting close to the users, but NUS would be better if one wants to remain stealthy or study adoption a la Google Fiber not being in California. Still you are probably right since there doesn't seem to be any asians on the team. If it's Berkeley, Marty Nemko should be involved, but can't find clues to that yet, although the original post contains two smoking guns, methinks.
