From the article, "Stanford University's computer science department is an engine for economic growth in Silicon Valley, producing the entrepreneurs who created the technologies behind companies such as Google and Yahoo!... Tableau Software, a Stanford spinout that quietly set up operations in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood last year, is announcing $5 million in a first round of funding today...Started as a government research project on the Stanford campus seven years ago, the team behind Tableau worked down the hall from Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. In fact, the two companies share more than a common address, co-founder and CEO Christian Chabot said. 'We are like the sister company of Google in some sense, and I want to say that lightly so it is not misinterpreted,' Chabot said. 'But Google was trying to make unstructured databases easy to use, and Tableau was founded to make structured databases easy to use.'"
