The Harvard Business School has compiled the first of its kind alumni impact study. Market research firm Marketer Strategies International was commissioned this assignment. More than 240,000 living alumni were sent an email with form attached which could even be accessed using their LinkedIn accounts. The study found out that around forty percent of Harvard alumni have founded ventures based on profit or non- profit modes. This is an especially high number considering that Stanford and MIT have historically been known as entrepreneurial hubs, but Harvard is faring quite well too. In addition Harvard alumni continue to serve as members on more than three hundred thousand boards.
