It's eye opening to see that, out of 1,263 unicorn founders, only 56 were dropouts (that’s just 4.4%). Meanwhile: - 485 had a Bachelor's - 259 had a Master's - 236 had an MBA - 286 had a Doctorate That means a PhD is 5x more common than a dropout among unicorn founders. Its crazy to see how opinions are shaped by the few exceptions even when the data stands in stark contrast. The myth of the dropout genius is fun to believe, but the real odds tell a different story it seems.
