The people who run Extreme University are well connected with Toronto/SV startups and have quite a bit of experience under their collective belts. Extrapolating one anecdote is silly. As I see it, the value in programs like EU is that people graduating from places like Waterloo and UFT are less likely to take their talent with them to join a big tech company or hedge fund (more often than not, crossing the border to do so).
