Starting a successful startup requires a great idea and a huge amount of resilience, but attending the right university – one with a strong reputation, world-class education, and influential connections – can give aspiring founders a crucial advantage.<\/p>\n

This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Kayla Zhu, <\/a>visualizes the top 10 undergraduate and graduate schools ranked by the number of alumni who have founded their own startups.<\/p>\n

Every year, PitchBook\u00a0ranks<\/a>\u00a0universities across the world by the number of alumni entrepreneurs who have raised venture capital in the last decade, by undergraduate, graduate, and MBA programs.<\/p>\n

Only founders whose companies received a round of venture funding between Jan. 1, 2013, and Aug. 1, 2024 were counted, with the data updated as of August 30, 2024. Founders can attend multiple schools and may be counted towards multiple universities.<\/em><\/p>\n

Located in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Stanford University boasts an impressive track record of producing thousands of startup founders over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

It ranks first in the graduate category, with over 4,000 founders having attended one of its graduate programs\u2014the highest number across all three categories\u2014and second in the undergraduate category.<\/p>\n

Notable founders from Stanford include OpenAI founder Sam Altman, who\u00a0dropped out<\/a>\u00a0of school, and Robinhood co-founder\u00a0Vladimir Tenev<\/a>.<\/p>\n

UC Berkeley ranked first overall in the undergraduate category, and was the top-ranked public school in the graduate category, coming in at fifth. DoorDash\u2019s founder and CEO\u00a0Tony Xu<\/a>\u00a0and supply chain management company Flexport founder and CEO\u00a0Ryan Petersen<\/a>\u00a0went to undergrad at Berkeley.<\/p>\n

Both Stanford and UC Berkeley are located in or near the San Francisco Bay Area, which was ranked as the\u00a0best startup city<\/a>\u00a0in the world by PitchBook.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
