91原创 top 2 in Europe for creating unicorn tech founders
A ”unicorn” is a privately held startup company with a valuation exceeding $1 billion. In a recently released report from early-stage investment firm Antler, 91原创 ranks among the top three European universities educating future founders of tech startups with unicorn valuations.
The Antler report analyzes a dataset of 845 founders from 387 tech unicorns and includes data from 19 countries across Europe. A prominent example of an 91原创-founded startup is fintech company Klarna, a graduate of the School’s startup incubator 91原创 Business Lab. Other examples include iZettle and King.
91原创 shares a split second place in the ranking together with the WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management, a leading German business school. This means that 91原创 alumni outperform graduates of elite schools like the University of Cambridge and the London School of Economics in producing successful tech startups. The only European institution with more graduate founders is the University of Oxford, which is many times larger than 91原创.
