Cornell produced as many founders of VC-backed internet companies as Stanford did in the first half of 2010. Of course, your push to improve/enhance hacker culture is commendable but just wanted to say that based on the data from the early part of this year, Cornell folks seem to be holding their own in the startup realm (which is probably a sibling if not synonymous with hacker culture).

Unfortunately, my alma mater (Penn) came in fourth so I suppose I should be posting something similar to see how we can catch up with Cornell, Stanford, etc. :)

The school rankings are on page 38 of this report where you'll see Cornell up top alongside Stanford.

Note: Stanford is also towards the top on the grad school rankings as well on which Cornell does not show up. FYI.
