First off, this list I KNOW has more companies (although no data): Stanford, Cal Berkley, Cal Tech, MIT, U of Illinois, U of Wisconsin.
If I had to guess, Utah is top quartile at best.
It is a function of research dollars (U is good, but not huge like others named above). Entrepreneurial spirit (Utah is above average, but way below Boston and California and even Austin Texas, North Carolina).
This study is horrendous. Any sanity check by anyone that knows anything about start-ups would laugh at this. Ask vSpring Capital or Utah Ventures about this.
