Scope
The population is public people profiles in the SVTR AI Venture Database: founders, investors and key team members.
Schools and employers are matched from career text against a fixed list (e.g. "Stanford" and "斯坦福" count as one); one person can count toward several schools and companies.
"Related companies raised" is the disclosed funding of companies these people founded or worked at, counting each company once.
Schools and companies outside the list are not counted, so this ranks the list, not every institution.
