Jerusalem, 2 September, 2018 (TPS) -- Tel Aviv University has ranked eighth in the Top-10 of Pitchbook’s venture capital database of the top 50 universities producing VC-backed entrepreneurs for the second year in a row, coming in above Ivy League schools such as Yale, Princeton and Brown. Last year, the university came in ninth. Tel Aviv is the only non-American university in the Top-10.
The ranking is determined based on how many VC-backed companies graduates from each school have established.

Stanford topped the list with 1178 graduates establishing 1015 companies, with Berkeley and MIT placing 2nd and 3rd.
