I have a degree in computer science, so I’m aware of what it includes.
I’m saying it because many founders have degrees in computer science, regardless of whether they use it or not, and the vast majority of startups are technology related.
It’s just a tightly coupled venn. I’d say the next biggest, or possibly bigger, is likely to be business-related degrees, but they (largely) are not science degrees, so it doesn’t answer the question.
Okay but even if someone has a degree in computer science, that doesn’t make the software engineering work they do count as being a scientist. I agree there is some overlap, for example if a startup is trying to push some new boundary of computer science itself and is simply selling a product as a way to further that research goal.

Sure, the question isn’t really clear in that sense. It just asks if there are people with both traits, which there are.
