In case you're wondering, those are the universities that produce the most amount of founders that go to the startup accelerator program, Y Combinator. After analyzing 20 years of founders that end up going to Y Combinator, here's the deal. Most of them, they come from Stanford. Think about this. From Stanford, over 700 actually ended up joining Y Cominator, while Harvard, which is the second on the lead, 482. Ivy League shows up, but it doesn't dominate. I mean you have others like for example you know Colombia Cornell but they're not really taking the lead and then also something very interesting is that Canadian and also UK schools are also being part of the group. The bottom line is that you don't need to be part of Stanford in order to make it and I think that that really shows from all the different players that are actually part of the pack. However, the network and the proximity
to Silicon Valley they still compound. If you're looking to raise money, go to start afundraising.com and supercharge your race with AI to raise three times faster.
