I’ve spent a ton of time at top universities and here’s what I've noticed: The freshman walking in the door at @MIT, @Harvard, @TuftsUniversity, @Princeton, @Stanford, etc. are nearly identical. Same SAT scores, same drive, same raw talent. But the fraction that come out the other side and start a company? Wildly different. Stanford is way out in front. Princeton is shockingly far behind. When I ask them why, the answer is almost always the same: "I went down this path because someone two years ahead of me did it. I watched them, I learned from them, and I did what they did." It's a culture thing, and it propagates like wildfire. All you need is a small hand full of breakout success stories and that will inspire dozens of others to follow suit. If you're a student at a school that doesn't have entrepreneurial culture yet, you have a massive opportunity to be the trailblazer who kickstarts it.
