Don't mean to be rude, but has alan kay effectively created any successful start up himself ? I've always loved his historical talks about what research was like in the 70s, but i find it surprising to see him giving talks in something called startup school.

I was specifically invited to talk about "invention vs innovation" and about making "an industry vs a company" -- that wasn't clear in the syllabus.

However, just to make you feel better (I hope), I did do a startup in grad school (called "Creative X").
