Is it just me, or do the majority of these really large tech company founders all seem to have gone to very prestigious schools? Is there something about the schools that also helps with technology and not just business?

It probably has to do with the fact that very prestigious schools typically have smart students and being smart in general is probably going to play a huge role in success.

I have a theory that prestigious schools give you a 'clever grin' which greases the wheels of business AND gets you venture capital. Almost like an old school tie.

Evidence? Look at Mark Zuckerberg's grin. He also wears his tie now...
