I like how troll-baiting it is to use MIT and Stanford stereotypes in this article. The sustainable ammonia technology in this example is audaciously important, but convincing people to buy sustainable fertilizer is also important too. I think that too many technology startups have an entitled disdain for literally putting shit in a box and selling it profitably---with a hand-signed note.

Even if a technology company can raise funding and grants, sustainable revenue from licensing or contracts should be the first priority for the company or it won't be able to stay together.
