Oxford University has produced eight unicorn start-ups (those who are are now valued in excess of $1bn) in the last decade. Not only is this the best record in Europe, it is the 7th best in the world!

Oxford University has produced more start-ups valued in excess of $1 billion than any other university in Europe over the past decade, a new study has revealed.
