I was at Tech from 2006-2010 in BME. So many senior design projects were being spun out as startups. Inventure also came out while I was there and was a big hit. If you had a good idea or executed on something well, it was probably going to be spun with the help of professors (you had to ask). The pace is definitely different at Tech, and for a major like BME, it was hard to come by free electives let alone free time (especially if you were doing pre-med). I do agree I would have loved to see more of a startup culture, but I think it was already brewing while I was there. I'd have loved to see more programming options offered for BME and other engineering majors beyond CS 1371, so we didn't have to get overrides and permits. CS 1371 basically made everyone shit their pants and left a sour taste of programming, although we needed to use the skills we had learned for future classes.
