The only person who doesn't have a degree listed is co-founder/CEO Alexander Karp. He has a BS, JD and a PhD.

Similar to the Apple CEO who said who needs a degree. Meantime he has an MBA from Duke, and BS in Industrial Engineering from Auburn, not an absolute top school but a very good one.

Steve Jobs didn't have a degree, but he seemed to very deeply value the liberal arts education that he did have.

So they're people that can't recognize the factors that led to their own success? Sounds like they have a promising future

You're asking the wrong question. Even if they do recognize the benefits they received from college education, it doesn't mean they want to share those benefits with others. These people have made it abundantly clear on many occasions that they hate sharing, and even more so when it comes to sharing access to quality education.

They’re not looking for cofounders.

they are looking for cheapest labor they can squeeze out. I am highly educated with 30 years in, won’t answer an email under $250/hr. my neighbour coming out of HS will work for $20/hr

It's not hypocritical to regret something you've done.

An illuminating question would be if they're sending their own kids to college or not.
