This is the age of start-ups, disruptions, and entrepreneurship!

Many successful start-ups have been founded by students, and they were influenced by institutions of higher learning that have the culture and business ecosystems to help. For example, Google, Netflix, and Yahoo! were founded by Stanford students, Grab was founded by Harvard alumni, Facebook and Microsoft were founded by Harvard students, and Coursera, DropBox, Qualcomm, LinkedIn, and ZipCar came out of MIT. In fact, Stanford raised about USD 28.84 Billion over a 12-year period from 2006 to 2018, producing a total of 1,015 companies in the process.
