Harvard is the number 1 university in the United States for producing most successful start-up CEOs, according to a new report from Crunchbase. Given its Silicon Valley connections, it’s perhaps not surprising that Stanford University comes in a close second, with 147.

Harvard and Stanford are the winners.

So, how did the schools fare?

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), trails in third place with 65, and the University of Pennsylvania, at 63, comes in fourth. Then come Columbia University and the University of California, Berkeley, followed by Cornell University at No.7.

The data firm ranked the top 20 U.S. colleges and universities by how prolific they were at graduating entrepreneurs who launched start-ups that raised $1 million or more since May 2017.
