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

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.
