The problem with this suggestion is that it seems to suggest having an MBA is a large part of being a business guy(or gal).
Yes it does take a long time to become a good business guy, but that's because it relies on spending so much time networking and building the kind of relationships that let you do interesting things.
MBAs are often a poor choice of business guy for a startup because the degree means they could be earning lots more in a "normal" job, but brings relatively few startup benefits.
I think a lot of these smaller startups would be better off with a hustler who's young and lacking an MBA.
