It's no secret that choosing the right college can have a big impact on where you end up later in life.

If you're hoping to launch a startup, chances are you'll need some funding down the road - and, according to the data, the university you attend can be one factor that impacts the amount of funding you'll receive after graduating.

To further examine that, PitchBook crunched the numbers and compiled the top universities with graduates who went on to receive venture capitalist funding after leaving school. The list is ranked by how many graduates received funding, and the total funding granted to all graduates, based on data collected from 2006 to June 2018.

Here are the top 25 schools from the list, with their estimated tuitions included.
