soupsoup: Who Gets Funded? (Click for larger) via Alexander Hotz at Mashable When many of us think of an Internet company we might think of a Michael Cera type character holed away in his parents’ basement but the stats from the report show some interesting trends.

Still there is some hope that good-old smarts wins the day; 98% have an undergrad degree or higher.
