IIT background biasness in Shark Tank
Just noticed this pattern while binge watching Shark Tank. Is it still prevalent for IIT graduates to get advantage in life over non IIT graduates.
Learned to live with it.
It's the life choices they made to get where they are.
I would not change anything from my past to get an IIT tag, so far I've lived a happy fulfilling life.

+1.... brand and packaging is the first one sees, visibility always wins...
IIT grads sneeze diamonds and sh * t gold bricks. Ideally they are worth thier weight in gold.

Yes, a recent Blume report showed how Tier 1 grad startups offer much higher probability of better returns. But for an IIT grad to go to sharktank for funding feels like a bad choice.
