Y Combinator’s Sam Altman names University of Waterloo as standout school for engineers and startup ideas

Y Combinator’s Sam Altman gets to see some of the best technology that is created by some of the world’s smartest and most creative people. In a recent article in Techvibes.com “Is The University of Waterloo Better Than Stanford?,” he singles out the University of Waterloo as the one school that stands out among applicants and graduates of Y Combinator.

This probably comes as a surprise to many Americans but it shouldn’t. Canada has some of the top-ranked engineering schools in North America, including the University of Toronto, University of Waterloo, University of British Columbia, McGill University, Queen’s University, Simon Fraser University, and McMaster University.

In a time where it’s extremely challenging to hire top-tier engineers in the US, the best option for your startup may be hiring engineers in Canada who graduated from top engineering schools like the University of Waterloo.

Although we might be biased from our first-hand experience attending some of these amazing schools, we’ve also worked with many talented engineers and developers who are alumni as well.
