Reading between the lines, it seems the major contributing factors to their success were the connections they had to other ex-Stanford alumni (Zuckerberg himself being one of them), the internship at Twitter and the stint at Google. A more interesting question (at least for me) is: Would Instagram's success have been possible (or that fast) if the founders had not gone to Stanford?
