Anderson with 70k$ or Sloan without $

It’s a very tough choice, given what you want to do. Sloan is second to Stanford (maybe Haas) for what you want to do. It has great classes focusing on entrepreneurial, great start up competitions to get your ideas noticed, etc. While it prepares your well for the start up world, it also will saddle you with a huge debt, which will make it difficult for you to start your own business in the short term.

The two “dream work” in VC and bizdev in tech, will be hard at both schools. My opinion is that VC values relevant experience more than education. So it’ll be difficult to break in to a good VC with any meaningful work initial from both schools. For early stage tech start up in SV, I think the “recruiting” is a relationship business, since before funding, the start up are too strapped for cash to do anything else. While your odds of exposure to early stage tech start up is higher at Sloan, you might also have to work for equity. Given that $70K is making you think, I’m guessing you may not be in the financial situation to work for little or no pay.

Because of this, Anderson with $70K and Sloan are almost equal proposition for your goal.
