Hedge Funds with a more intellectual culture

This is kind of a weird question, but has anyone given thought to which hedge funds have a more intellectual, start-up-like culture? My first thought was Two Sigma/Jane Street just based on what I've heard from people I've met there, but not sure if there are more names out there I'm not considering.
