Does anyone know if something similar exists at other universities (specifically curious about Stanford)?

The difference between this and most other incubators (at Stanford, Harvard iLab, etc as mentioned below) is that it's very specifically geared towards hard-tech startups that other investors typically shy away from because of the long time to market.

Precisely. I'm asking if other hard-tech incubators exist at Stanford (and others)...

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has iVenture Accelerator program. They have plenty have resources and offers financial support ($2500 per fellow and $10k per startup) and co-working space in the UIUC Research Park.

They don't care if its hard-tech or not. Your company has to be good enough to qualify for their program.

StartX seems closest to what they describe.

I believe Stanford also has funds for even earlier stage / younger teams, as well as domain specific programs like the one at the tomkat center for sustainable energy.

Check out Cyclotron Road at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab - similar mission to support hard tech innovators. Applications open until midnight on Monday, October 31 cyclotronroad.org/apply

Well Harvard iLab is a University-wide incubator that has its own building. They offer advising and limited resource support (e.g., a small lab filled with hardware hacking tools), but no funding as far as I'm aware.

The UC system has a biotech incubator, QB3.

there's also a cornell-technion joint venture called the "Runway startup postdoc" aimed for new PhDs to transition to being founders: http://tech.cornell.edu/programs/startup-postdocs
