哪些美國大學製造最多新生代企業家？排名前三：史丹福，哈佛， 柏克萊？

這個數據可信度如何不知， 乍看圖表柏克萊排名第三， 仔細看了條目欄似乎MIT人數更多， 不管了， 還是放上來自我陶醉， 權當癡心父母誤把馮京作馬涼的盲點吧！ 哈哈~~~

圖表上柏克萊排名第三還是可能的， 條目欄沒有完全列出所有學校， 推測柏克萊的graduate schools 應該還有 20+ 沒有被列入條目欄。

Stanford is well known for churning out successful entrepreneurs like SnapChat’s Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy. Then there is Harvard’s famous attendee Mark Zuckerberg  and MIT’s Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi.  Using the CrunchBase dataset, we wanted to find out what schools are really leading the production of new entrepreneurs.  The data does show Stanford leading the way, but other schools are not far behind.

 

Now for the some caveats about our analysis which, of course, was based on the CrunchBase dataset. In the graph above, graduate degrees were categorized the same as undergraduate degrees and the founder’s graduation information had to be present.  Using these filters,  we looked at 6,150 founders from 4,885 companies – you can download the data here.

The top 25 university programs for founders/cofounders, without filters were:

Top 25 University Programs	Total (Count)
Stanford University	296
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)	171
University of California, Berkeley	156
Harvard University	122
Harvard Business School	112
Cornell University	91
University of Pennsylvania	76
Stanford University Graduate School of Business	74
Yale University	69
University of Michigan	66
University of Southern California (USC)	66
Columbia University	63
Carnegie Mellon University	61
Tel Aviv University	56
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)	56
The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania	52
New York University (NYU)	44
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign	43
Brown University	42
University of Waterloo	41
Princeton University	40
Dartmouth College	38
University of Cambridge	38
University of Oxford	38
University of Chicago	37

Next we looked at the degrees earned by founders in CrunchBase.  Most graduated with an emphasis in computer science, business, or electrical engineering.

Finally we looked at the founders most recent graduation year and analyzed how long it took for these individuals to found/co-found a funded startup.  Our data shows that it takes on average 8 years from graduation to founding date; however, that’s based on a very small sample of 575 founders with profiles containing graduation date.  We suspect the actual time may be larger because more experienced founders may not feel graduation date an important part of their profile.

Remember, CrunchBase is the free database of technology companies, people, and investors that anyone can edit. The funding rounds, people profiles and company milestones are powered by our readers. Everyone benefits when you update your profile and your company’s milestones.  CrunchBase data powers TechCrunch and many other websites plus it’s used behind the scenes by hundreds of investment firms and corporate development teams.  If you are having trouble editing CrunchBase or find an error, just drop us a note at [e-mail].
