<i>How many tech company founders met at university? Now, how many studied the exact same things?</i><p>Well, a short search returns:<p>Google: two PhDs studying the same thing.<p>Apple: Jobs and Woz met when the former was in High School; they never attended the same college.<p>Yahoo: two EE graduate students.<p>Microsoft: childhood friends, didn&#x27;t attend the same college.<p>Oracle: didn&#x27;t attend the same college, met when working for the same company.<p>Red Hat: didn&#x27;t attend the same college.<p>Salesforce: met while working at Oracle.<p>At least for the software behemoths, it seems it&#x27;s not that important to have mixed colleges.
