I was watching an interview with Mike Judge, the creator of the show "Silicon Valley" last night. He said that he asked many real-world VC's about realistic reasons that Pied Piper would have trouble finding financing so that he could integrate those into the storyline. Regardless of the complications he suggested, every VC told him "that really wouldn't be an issue...we'd still invest". I think that says alot about the Valley today. "I might miss out" seems to be a mantra on Sand Hill Road these days. If you or one of your cofounders has dropped out of Stanford or Harvard, you can and will get funded. Despite Peter Thiel's protestations to the contrary, Stanford in particular is worth the money for a year or two if only for this reason. Any education you receive is just a bonus.
