Founded in 1865, Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is one of the United States' first engineering-focused schools and some of their well-known alumni have gone onto illustrious tech-oriented careers.
We put together a slideshow of alumni who have made an impact on the startup/tech sector by either being a founder, investor, or an executive.
Please keep in mind that this is not meant to be a comprehensive list, but just a sampling.
Special thanks to Jeremy Hitchcock and Bob Mason for helping us put this together and WPI for clarifications on the degrees!
Going through the pictures, there's bound to be at least one person that will make you go, "I didn't realize they went to WPI?"
