"I don't need college to be the founder of a billion-dollar company!" - Here's the data

"I don't need college to be the founder of a billion-dollar company!" -- Here's data!

The graph shows the education level of the founding CEOs of 195 startups founded between 2005 and 2018 with over $1Bn in valuation.

👉 The amount of founding CEOs that never finished college pales in comparison to the amount of CEOs that did finish college.

👩‍🎓 In fact, many CEOs pursued formal education even beyond college, going for Masters and PhDs.

🎯 So while it is possible to be the founder of a billion-dollar company without going to college, chances are getting formal education will do you good. 🤷‍♂️
