Super cool idea, these are especially nice for a lobby or decorating a conference room. You might consider contacting a few VC firms and seeing if they might want some for their portfolio companies.
As a side note, can you imagine being the patent office worker who had to process Google's Page Rank patent application? Complex math and ideas with very little context for how they would apply to the real world back in 1998.

@kleneway great idea! I'd imagine a good few VCs might like to hang these on their Boardroom walls :)
Yeah the PageRank story is pretty epic. Especially given how fundamental it became to the overall success of Google. I didn't know it was named after Larry Page until researching it - fun facts.

@cdcwatson Ha, didn't know that PageRank backstory. Seems so obvious now! And for VCs it's such a beautiful and stylish humblebrag. 😁
