How founders’ education affects the amount of early-stage capital raised for their technology startup.

Using data about 76 technology startups that have raised early stage investment capital in the Netherlands the years 2013-2015, I study the effects of type and level of education held by the founders on their ability to raise more capital. From the relevant literature I develop hypotheses related to managerial and technical education type, as well as education level in general. Results follow past findings and suggest, that there is no significant influence from neither type nor level of education on early stage investment capital amounts.
