Schools are ranked for the list based on the number of alumni entrepreneurs who have founded companies that received the first round of venture funding within the last 10 years.
Penn ranked fifth in the undergraduate category with 1,038 founders, sixth in the graduate category with 1,456 founders, fourth in the undergraduate female category with 172 founders, and fifth in the graduate female category with 205 founders.
The Wharton School consistently produces venture-backed companies and supports students in their entrepreneurial pursuits through different initiatives. For example, Wharton launched Fund for Health in 2021, collaborating with Penn Medicine and the Wharton Social Impact Initiative to invest in health startups.
