"A private, global research university, Carnegie Mellon stands among
the world's most renowned educational institutions, and sets its own
course. Over the past 10 years, more than 400 startups linked to CMU
have raised more than $7 billion in follow-on funding. Those investment
numbers are especially high because of the sheer size of Pittsburgh's
growing autonomous vehicles cluster - including Uber, Aurora, Waymo
and Motional - all of which are here because of their strong ties to CMU.
With cutting-edge brain science, path-breaking performances,
innovative startups, driverless cars, big data, big ambitions,
Nobel and Turing prizes, hands-on learning, and a whole lot
of robots, CMU doesn't imagine the future, we create it."
