For a case in point, consider CloudFlare. They made it to the final round in SF last year. Who is to say it is similar to PageRank, but when I heard what they did I instantly thought ... wow ... a company that does deep tech and has already implemented their infrastructure ... this is going to kick everyone's behind. I was shocked that the panel of judges didn't get it. What makes it worse is that cloudflare lost to Qwiki!
After I thought about this for a while, I concluded that perhaps that panel of judges wasn't equipped to evaluate a deep technology company.
