As a Berkeley grad, it pains me to say this, but Stanford is almost certainly your best bet. It's great academically, and it seems to understand how to encourage students to get involved in startups. In the startup world, it's Stanford and everyone else.

That said, "everyone else" still has some excellent options. MIT, Harvard,... yeah, all good options. But don't rule out the big public research universities. Berkeley and Illinois grads (among many others) have produced a lot of great startups - great by almost any measure (except that damn university to the south ;) )
