It's interesting to see they are branching out to smaller, lesser known more regional schools. Pretty far from their debut in Harvard/Kendall Square.

Waterloo is a well-regarded engineering powerhouse & has been well represented in YC going back to my batch (s12 - BufferBox) if not earlier.

I can’t tell if this is a joke but Waterloo is the Stanford of Canada and is on par with the top American CS undergrads

Never heard of it. Must be a regional thing.

Never heard Stanford referred to as the "Waterloo of the United-States" either.

But hey, if you say so, I believe you internet stranger!
