Probably not a misprint. They could be big enterprise customers.

We don't work with startups :).

I presume you mean "we don't currently work with startups". This is more of a financial issue than an ideological, enterprise only issue, right?

I'm assuming if Grail (http://www.grailbio.com/) who launched in 2016 with $100,000,000 in funding were knocking at your door you would be more than happy to work with them?

Right. Startups typically use python/ruby or commodity hadoop clusters on EMR. It's not an audience match and they don't have a budget anyways.

For anyone else we have a very active open source community: https://gitter.im/deeplearning4j/deeplearning4j
