You shouldn't take that for granted. That doesn't happen so often outside the US. I went to a top Brazilian university. I don't have any hard data but I'm sure the number of companies founded by my university's alumni is much lower than MIT's. MIT's level might have smarter people than a top Brazilian university but I don't think that alone explains it. I live in Japan now. Most Tokyo University graduates aren't interested in joining startups, let alone founding one.
