After thinking about this over night I do believe that the difference between Zuckerberg and Gates is telling. It used to be that having Harvard on your resume did not mean much in tech since it was not considered a tech school. The feel of the valley changed when John Sculley took over Apple since he was not at all a tech guy. This is just based on my gut, but I saw more Harvard alums after Sculley then before Sculley. So I looked up the top schools for tech CEOs. This is the ranking of schools with the most CEOs with first round of funding. There were a few surprises for me.
1. Stanford
2. UC Berkeley
3. U of Pennsylvania
4. Harvard
5. MIT
6. Cornell
7. U of Michigan
8. U of Texas
9. Carnagie Mellon
10. IIT Stanford and Berkeley were not a surprise since I have worked at a bunch of companies founded by Stanford and Berkeley alumni. IIT and MIT were also not surprises. One thing that skews the results is that a bunch of schools provide masters programs to already successful professionals - so it is not clear that they actually contributed to the success of the alumni. |
