YC is probably the top business school in the country by market cap created.

What is the right ranking metric for business schools, and what does the top 10 look like?

The best way to drive the reinvention of higher education will be to rank new approaches side by side with the old guard.

Biz schools aren't all that good at creating market cap.

Consider Stanford. It has a top-ranked biz school that focuses on startups.

Still, the CS department laps the biz school in "market cap created". I think that EE does as well, and there are probably a couple of other departments that have created more market cap. (Bio-tech is the obvious candidate.)

I think that a biz school that creates more market cap than the top technical departments is evidence that the technical departments are failing.
