Here an extract from an interview to Mark Suster about the importance to get an MBA to work for startups or venture capitalists:
If I were 27 again and working at a start-up and was considering getting an MBA, I think I’d go to my boss and ask if I could spend a year in sales, 6 months in product management or marketing and 6 months in finance. I’d keep my personal balance sheet positive and my future options open. It’s hard to start companies and take risks when you’re $150,000 in debt.
