What non-US schools graduate most founders of US unicorns?
Many founders of US unicorns got their undergraduate degree outside the US. Ilya Strebulaev, a professor at Stanford, ranked foreign universities by the number of US unicorn founders.
The top 3 non-US universities that these founders attended are Tel Aviv University, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. All three are from Israel.
They are followed by University of Waterloo and Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.
Overall, 608 (27%) out of 2,321 unicorn founders with data on an undergraduate degree received it outside the US.
These are US unicorns, so over a quarter of the founders of US-based VC-backed unicorns came from abroad.
