But first a quiz. Do you think the majority were university dropouts? Do you think they are mostly young? Do you imagine they wear hoodies? Do you think they had a technical background? And do you think they came from the most prestigious universities?
In addition, only 10% were university dropouts, and actually 55% had a master’s degree or a PhD. This does leave one open question because simple maths will tell you that 35% had very ordinary academic qualifications. And it didn’t make much difference if they went to the small set of top universities: the top five alma maters accounted for only about 15% of founders. Clearly a chip on your shoulder is a distinct advantage.
Rainville suggests this is possibly because of the relative youth of the European tech ecosystem. In North America, a much larger proportion of founders would have worked for other Silicon Valley companies, he points out.
Having been in business for the last 15y, I learned no business starts off as a $billion business. Think big, start small and scale up. Milestones pass along the way to success eventually. Or else, you have to be satisfied with your keep.
