Youtube: Chad Hurley went to Indiana Uni. of Pennsylvania. Steve Chen and Jawed Karim went to University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Yelp: Jeremy Stoppelman went to University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Slide: Max Levchin went to University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Foursquare: Naveen went to Worcester Inst. and Kings College. Dennis Crowley went to Syracuse and Tisch School at NYU Tumblr: David Karp never went to college. Actually, I would say that there would very little correlation between going to an Ivy League/ top 10 school and building a company. Most people at such schools are more are interested in getting into Investment Banking, Consulting, Pvt Equity jobs than building companies. Going to a good college would a weak variable, if relevant at all, when deciding on the probability of future success for a startup.
