apologies in advance for the self-post, but i wrote a somewhat-related article a few years ago about how the grad school research world can actually be similar to the start-up world, even though they seem like polar opposites at first glance: http://www.stanford.edu/~pgbovine/research-and-startup.htm

thanks for sharing the link. nicely written article. apart from "formulating", "executing", and "selling" i would like to add two more steps in the beginning "survey" and "identify open problems". i would say in startup world also survey (competitive research) and "open problems" (novelty) are important.
