<p>all but 4 of their engineers are from MIT and the others went to Montana State, CMU, Brown, and another school. </p>

<p>are most successful startups like this, with nearly all the engineers from MIT? or is this an example of the founders recruiting all their university friends?</p>

<p>Do most successful startup’s employees come from MIT?
No, there aren’t enough graduates from there and not all go into startups.</p>

<p>Do many startups founded by MIT students have many MIT students as employees?
I would guess most likely because that is the only networking group they really know.</p>
