產生經驗豐富的創業創始人的頂級大學

這些再次是我們一年一度的研究結果，美國大學和大學畢業了資金最多的創業者數量

There’s no degree requirement to be founder of a venture-backed startup. Nevertheless, attending a top-tier university definitely boosts the likelihood of success.

沒有學位是由風險投資的初創公司的創始人。然而，參加頂級大學肯定會增加成功的可能性。

Those were once again the findings of our annual look at which U.S. colleges and universities graduate the highest number of funded startup founders, based on Crunchbase data.

這些再次是我們一年一度的研究結果，根據Crunchbase數據，美國大學和大學畢業的最高資金創業者數量。

As usual, four universities — Stanford, Harvard, MIT and UC Berkeley — hung on to the top four slots. The remaining names on our list mostly include a mix of large state research universities, Ivy League institutions and private schools known for tech and business.

像往常一樣，四所大學 - 斯坦福大學，哈佛大學，麻省理工學院和加州大學伯克利分校 - 掛在前四個位置。我們列表中的其餘名稱主要包括大型國家研究型大學，常春藤聯盟機構和以技術和商業而聞名的私立學校。

For a more detailed overview, we posted the full ranking below. It tracks the founders' university affiliations for startups that raised seed through growth-stage funding this past year.

有關更詳細的概述，我們在下面發布了完整的排名。它跟踪了創始人大學的隸屬關係，用於在過去的一年中通過成長階段的資金籌集種子。

Which university graduates the highest numnber of funded startup founders?

哪個大學畢業是資助的初創公司創始人最高的。

When we look at the top-ranked schools on our list, all are known for providing a rigorous education. What they also share in common are highly competitive admissions processes.

當我們查看名單上排名最高的學校時，所有人都以提供嚴格的教育而聞名。他們共同分享的是競爭激烈的入學過程。

This is particularly true for undergrads. For the Class of 2028, for example, Stanford admitted just 3.6% of applicants, followed by Harvard at 3.7%, and MIT at 4.6%.

對於本科尤其如此。例如，在2028年的班級中，斯坦福大學僅承認申請人的3.6％，其次是哈佛，為3.7％，MIT為4.6％。

Many of those accepted are likely people well-poised to succeed in entrepreneurship regardless of degree. For evidence, look at the history of prestigious university dropouts going on to found valuable companies such as Microsoft, Apple and Meta. That said, of course, we also see co-founders in areas that rely on their academic expertise, particularly among AI and biotech unicorns.

無論程度如何，許多被接受的人都可能被塞滿富有創業的人。為了證明證據，請查看享有聲望的大學輟學的歷史，正在發現Microsoft，Apple和Meta等有價值的公司。也就是說，當然，我們還看到依靠其學術專業知識的領域聯合創始人，尤其是在AI和生物技術獨角獸中。

Public university outperformers

公立大學的表現優於外觀

Public universities, which have higher acceptance rates for in-state residents, are harder to measure for admissions competitiveness. But when it comes to funded-founder track records, it’s clear that a few names stand out.

在州內居民接受較高接受率的公立大學很難衡量入學競爭力。但是，當涉及到基金創始人的記錄時，很明顯，一些名字脫穎而出。

The far-and-away leader in this category is UC Berkeley, which benefits from its highly regarded STEM programs as well as its location in the San Francisco Bay Area, the global capital of the venture industry.

該類別中遙遠的領導者是加州大學伯克利分校（UC Berkeley），該公司受益於其備受推崇的STEM計劃以及其在風險投資行業的全球資本舊金山灣區的位置。

UCLA ranks a distant second, with just over 100 grads going on to launch companies funded in the past year. Georgia Tech and University of Michigan are close behind, with 97 and 93 funded founders, respectively, followed by The University of Texas at Austin, with 86.

加州大學洛杉磯分校（UCLA）排名遙遠的第二名，在過去一年中，剛剛進行了100多名畢業生。佐治亞理工學院和密歇根大學緊隨其後，分別有97名和93名資助的創始人，其次是德克薩斯大學奧斯汀分校，其中86名。

Ivies and hard-to-get-into private schools round out the list

ivies和難以獲取的私立學校列入了清單

All eight schools in the Ivy League made our list, which is what we’ve seen in past years as well. After Harvard, the next-biggest Ivies for funded startup founders were Columbia, University of Pennsylvania and Cornell.

常春藤聯盟中的所有八所學校都列入了我們的名單，這也是我們過去幾年所見的。哈佛之後，資助的初創公司創始人的下一級ivies是哥倫比亞，賓夕法尼亞大學和康奈爾大學。

Of course, there are also other private, non-Ivy universities that are notoriously hard to get into or known for particularly demanding STEM curriculum. Not surprisingly, these churn out a lot of funded founders as well. In this category, beyond the aforementioned Stanford and MIT,  Carnegie Mellon, Duke and University of Southern California also ranked high on our list.

當然，眾所周知，還有其他一些私立的非文學大學很難進入或以特別要求的STEM課程而聞名。毫不奇怪，這些也耗盡了許多資助的創始人。在這一類別中，除了上述斯坦福大學和麻省理工學院，卡內基·梅隆，杜克大學和南加州大學的榜單上，我們的名單也很高。

Since size is a consideration here as well, we also ought to give a shout-out to some smaller schools that produce a disproportionately high number of funded founders. For instance, Caltech, with only about 2,500 students, outperforms many much larger well-regarded schools.

由於這裡的規模也是一個考慮因素，因此我們還應該向一些較小的學校大喊大叫，這些學校產生了不成比例的資金創始人。例如，加州理工學院（Caltech）只有大約2500名學生，其表現要優於大量備受推崇的學校。

Business schools play an outsized role

商學院扮演角色

Several of the schools on our list also got there to a large degree as a result of business school grads.

由於商學院的畢業生，我們名單上的幾所學校也在很大程度上到達那裡。

Per Crunchbase data, standout business schools for funded founders include Harvard Business School, Stanford Graduate School of Business, Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management and Penn’s Wharton School, among others.

根據Crunchbase數據，資助創始人的傑出商學院包括哈佛商學院，斯坦福大學商學院，西北凱洛格管理學院和賓夕法尼亞州的沃頓商學院等。

Business schools have also factored in favorably in prior research looking at universities that produce the highest numbers of startup CEOs.

商學院還在先前研究的研究中考慮了產生最多創業首席執行官的大學。

No big changes

沒有重大變化

While it may seem like the world is changing at a faster rate than ever, funded founder and university rankings are one of the more stable indicators. Over the years we’ve been crunching these numbers, the component universities of our list, and their respective rankings, haven't budged dramatically.

雖然看來世界的變化比以往任何時候都更快，但資助的創始人和大學排名是最穩定的指標之一。多年來，我們一直在處理這些數字，榜單的組成大學及其各自的排名，並沒有顯著增長。

Bottom line: If your plan is to be a unicorn founder, attending Stanford is still probably not a bad idea.

底線：如果您的計劃是成為獨角獸創始人，那麼參加斯坦福大學可能仍然不是一個壞主意。
