I wouldn't do it myself if I started a company, although that's probably
because I've not studied in any of those places, but this is similar in
intention to saying started by "a team of ex googlers" or "a team of ex
Amazon hackers" etc. 

The idea is to convey that the founding team is talented and has good
credentials. 

It is probably instructive to look at the extreme opposite. 

"We are an internet based startup founded by 3 guys who don't have a
formal education, are hardly literate and can't write a line of code to
save their lives but badly want to jump onto the startup bandwagon
because it's th3 aw3s0me!"
