Tel Aviv University retains its outstanding position among the world’s elite, ranked just after Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard. TAU ranks ahead of leading universities such as Yale (12), University of California (13), and Princeton (15).
According to PitchBook, four additional Israeli universities were included in this year’s ranking: the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology (10), the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (30), Reichman University (47), Ben-Gurion University (52), and Bar-Ilan University (90).
Among the five largest companies founded by Tel Aviv University alumni, PitchBook highlights: Generate ($4.3B), Lendbuzz ($1.2B), and Next Insurance ($1.1B), according to Tel Aviv University in its recent press release.
