DJ Patil, with venture capital firm Greylock Partners, is on a perpetual manhunt, looking for a rare breed: someone with a brain for math, finesse with computers, the eyes of an artist and more (wrt: big data)

I would add the heart of an entrepreneur....

That's a good addition.

But looking over the article I'm wondering what sets DJ Patil's manhunt apart from everyone else who's looking for big data people.
