CS departments might not be good at turning out startup candidates because the people running the departments are more interested in the academic side of CS. Where I've been learning comp sci (Pomona & Harvey Mudd) the teachers' interest in CS is more academic and less practical. It's a reflection of what they're interested in - they probably turned down jobs in the industry to work in academia and teach students. Almost all of the marketable skills I've learned have been self-taught outside of class.
