Stanford ranked first with 1,427 undergraduate founders, just ahead of UC Berkeley (1,406); Harvard and MIT followed. First edition to use a roughly 10-year window (Jan. 1, 2012 to Oct. 21, 2022) and a top 100 format, covering more than 144,000 founders.
Method changed. Positions in this edition are not directly comparable with the previous one.
Window cut from about 15 years to about 10 years; list extended to top 100.
