This is a fun chart that shows that folks that used to work at Google get more funding for their start up projects than any other big tech company.

This info comes courtesy of Business Insider and online recruiting start up TopProspect, that monitors three million Silicon Valley workers from sources such as LinkedIn and Facebook.

TopProspect took a look at startups founded in the last five years with publicly available funding information, and more than 10 employees in TopProspect’s peer-recommended network (which shows they’re a decent size and well-connected).

It found that ex-Yahoos have started the most companies in this category — 15 total. But those companies have only received about $126 million in funding.

The 13 companies started by former Google employees, including Foursquare, Tapjoy, and Color, have raised almost $310 million in venture funding.

The reason? Some Google alumni work in venture capital, and Google has a reputation for buying back projects founded by ex employees such as Aardvark.
