Just want to point out that Stanford does have its fair share of "MIT startups".

Here's a small subset:

* Alveo Energy

* Amprius

* Blue River Technology

* C3Nano

* Momentum Machines

* QuantumScape

* Solum

Although if the OP's simple model had a category for startups simultaneously validating customer demand and driving technological advantages, most of these companies would be there.

i'm the author... just wanted to point out that it's stereotypes for the sake of nomenclature.

That website is...erm...bare-bones.

Also, I believe the core of the Google self-driving car team was hired from Stanford after they won the DARPA challenge. At the very least the lead was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastian_Thrun (I know, not a startup, but it's relevant.)
