Switch On Business published that Utah Valley University produces the most graduates launching local businesses.
Switch On Business researched 250 U.S. colleges that have produced the most business founders overall, according to LinkedIn’s college profile pages. It retrieved the number of business founders from each college who launched a business between 2014 and September 2023 within the same state or city of their alma mater.
Key Findings
- Eighty percent of Utah Valley University alums who have founded businesses have done so in Utah — more than any other state.
- Hunter College has seen more graduate founders (54.55%) start a business in the local city (New York) than any other college in the U.S.
- California is the top state in which graduate founders from 14 other states start a business.
