Thought:
Get existing H+ companies to cooperate deeply, with the depth of the Musk companies (using money for each other, staff moving fluidly between) or Y-Combinator.

Create a shortlist and clear types of collaboration. Monthly

Question: How to funnel quality scientists into founding technology companies (in biology, physics as well)

Start with:
Hiring funnel for existing H+ companies from PhD programs, quality colleges.
80k for H+.
The company where you can interview once and get many software engineering positions for H+
Triplebyte for H+

Talk to Ed Boyden
Talk to Adam Marblestone

Company List:
Nectome

What to make this, technically?

What technology will be possible
What it will look like
Thinking on his own
Looking at academic sources

Has been doing this for biology and germ-line engineering
His estimates of what is possible when keeps changing, but only after talking to lots of biologists.
