The backgrounds of people in "Internet Services" look more like cultural leaders than business leaders. That's a sidebar fining from this cool new paper on the Ivy League educations of the US cultural elite by @BrintSteven @KomeeGee Kayleigh Anderson-Natale, @zfshuker & Suki Wang
@BrintSteven @KomeeGee @zfshuker tl;dr: US Cultural elites, compared to business elites or popular artists, are more likely to have graduated from elite undergraduate colleges.
Full paper is here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…
In Venture Labor I wrote about the close ties between NYC's Silicon Alley, NYC's cultural industries, and the Ivy League. (How many early startups came out of Brown?)
As "software eats the world," we would expect "internet services" to look more like computer science and other businesses in terms of who gets to be an elite leader. It doesn't yet.
There's a paper in here. Who wants to write it with me?
