We hope every investment we make is the next Google or Microsoft, in the sense of growing very big. Remember that when Microsoft started, it was two undergrads making Basic interpreters for what were then called "hobbyists." I don't think the majority of companies we fund would be better off if some of the founders had MBAs, no. It would at best not be harmful. What makes startups succeed, at our stage, is building products users like, and I have seen no evidence that an MBA gives you any advantage there. In fact I've probably seen evidence to the contrary.
