PitchBook has released its annual ranking of universities that have a track record for graduating entrepreneurs. This ranking compares universities according to metrics such as the number of alumni entrepreneurs and the capital they raised between 2015 and 2026. Separate rankings are created for founders with undergraduate, graduate (including MBA), or MBA degrees. At the undergraduate level, the top three performing Canadian universities were University of Waterloo (#7), the University of Toronto (#17), and McGill University (#23). At the graduate level, the top performing Canadian institutions were U of T (#26), the University of British Columbia (tied for #54), and UWaterloo (tied for #54). Among MBAs, the top Canadian institutions were U of T (#39), York University (#41), and Western University (#42). PitchBook notes that UWaterloo is the first Canadian university to be included in the top 10 for the undergraduate ranking.
