Interesting note.

Andy Weissman and John Borthwick are both alumni of Wesleyan University.

USV co-founder Brad Burnham is from Wesleyan.

A strong community of liberal arts educated folks making big waves in the New York tech scene, both on venture and new media.

Funnily enough all the Wesleyan people are now have PhDs in quantum chemistry or biophysics. When I first moved to the US, I just assumed it rocked for theoretical science.
Including Chris Dixon, CEO of Hunch, who has a MS in philosophy.
And Tim Devane, superstar bit.ly sales/bizdev phenom is a recent Wesleyan grad too!
USV is half Wesleyan/half MIT, by degrees and by mindset too
